Hmmm how to review a secondary school? It is difficult as it is the only secondary school I ever…read moreattended so I have nothing to compare it too and also I can't help thinking back to my time at Park Mains through nostalgic rose tinted spectacles! I guess what I should say is that I went to this school and I turned out alright so it couldn't have been that bad and that it isn't as shit as it looks in the photos! Park Mains is a non denominational school that has been around since the 1970s, as you can probably tell from the very retro looking buildings! I have heard that the school is being rebuilt though and it's about time really. At the moment though the school is spilt into 3 main blocks which cater to different subjects. A Block has the science labs, art rooms and home economics kitchens, B Block has the canteen, staff rooms and a link corridor over to C Block where you'll find the maths, English and languages classrooms as well as the music rooms. In addition to these 3 main blocks there is also a 400 seat theatre, an IT building, outdoor sports fields, and a PE hall with a dance studio, games hall and fitness suite. The school uniform is as good as you can hope for really, black and white with a blue and white striped tie for the juniors and a navy tie for the seniors. When you get to 6th year you get a special badge with an "S" on it and it makes you swan around like you own the place because you are so much older and more mature than all the other pupils (ahem). The extra curricular activities on offer were fairly bog standard. Obviously you could take up some sort of musical instrument or join the choir. Alternatively you could join one of the many sports clubs. I was a little bit more hardcore and opted for the Duke of Edinburgh scheme! My final two years at Park Mains were invaluable to me with regards to preparing me for leaving school and either going to university or going straight into a career. During S5 and S6 pupils are given loads of opportunities to get involved in projects which give them something extra to add the their CVs or university applications. Some of the things I got involved in were the Charities Committee, Young Enterprise and Peer Support. All in all I loved my time at Park Mains. As with any school some teachers were better than others and I had good days and bad days but I can honesty say that Park Mains made a positive contribution to the person I am today and I have a group of fantastic life long friends who I met at this school and who I don't think I could live without, *sniff sniff* I love you guys!
