The Information Evening for P7 Parents, Carers and
Primary 7 Pupils will take place on Wednesday 9th November at 7.00pm
in St Maurice’s High School. We look forward to welcoming all of our new pupils who will start at St Maurice's in August 2017!
St Maurice’s High School senior pupils
were invited to attend and take part in the Children in Scotland Annual
Conference 2016 in partnership with NLC at Westerwood Hotel, Cumbernauld. The pupils attended workshops and
listened to inspirational speakers.They
interviewed Mark McDonald, MSP, and Minister for Childcare and Early Years. The pupils involved were:
Adam McGirr, Hazel Sloey, Tiegan McEwan,
Mara O’Connor, Luke Macphee, Shannon Henderson, Emily Hamill, Paul Hansen, Caitlin
Armstrong, Luke Martin, Jamie Wilson.
Throughout the 2 days Conference the
pupils engaged with delegates, captured pictures, blogged and sent out
tweets. At the end of the 2nd
day the young people presented their findings and reflections. The Conference was opened by Mrs Isabelle
Boyd, Assistant Chief Executive for NLC setting out the challenge, to everyone
who work with young people, to find ways for professionals, to ensure that Scotland is the best place to grow up. The overarching theme of the Conference was
to explore important topics in order to make a difference to children’s health
and wellbeing in Scotland. The topics
ranged from child protection, mental health, inequalities, inclusion,
combatting poverty and improving outcomes.
The Conference closed with an address from Councillor Jim Robertson,
Provost, NLC.
All of our pupils enjoyed the worthwhile
experience and developed transferrable skills for the future. The pupils were a credit to the school. Well done!

A trip to Madrid from Thursday 13th October - Tuesday 18th October
was a once in a lifetime experience for 20 S2 and S3 pupils who travelled to
Madrid to improve their footballing skills at The Ciudad Real Madrid training
complex, where they had world class coaching from the Real Madrid youth
coaches. Additionally, they were given the
opportunity to play against local opposition, whom they beat 2-1. As well as the training experience, the group
attended a match at the Vicente Calderón Stadium to watch the world class
players of Atletico Madrid beat Granada 7-1.
The boys were also able to brush up on the Spanish culture with a visit
to the city centre of Madrid and received a tour of the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium
to see the 11 European cups won by Real Madrid.
This was a memorable experience for all pupils in attendance and every
pupil was a credit to the school.
