The Catholic Head Teachers' Association Scotland (CHAS) annual conference was held this week in the Westerwood Hotel, Cumbernauld.

Pupils from Our Lady's High School provided the music for the Mass, and were a credit to the school, their families and themselves. Their fantastic performance was commented on by the clergy and visitors to the conference. A particular congratulations goes to Sheen Shelton who led the singing of the Psalm.

Pupils from our cluster primaries visited Our Lady’s last week as part of their Transition Project which focuses on the safe use of Social Media.

In the next few weeks pupils and staff  from all six primaries and Our Lady’s, will work together to create, design and produce blogs, posters, t-shirts and broadcasts that highlight the safe use of social media within our society.

The hard work of both pupils and staff will be celebrated in a show case at Our Lady’s High School taking place on Tuesday 13 June. The project itself has been a huge success so far and last week was awarded an Excellence and Equity award from North Lanarkshire Council.   

On Thursday 11 May, 17 S3 pupils visited Highland Coaters in Cumbernauld to gain a deeper understanding of how chemistry is present within the world of work.

At the visit pupils had the opportunity to tour the factory, meet with industry experts and discuss future pathways and careers relating to chemistry and engineering.

Our Lady's would like to say thanks to Highland Coaters who made every effort to make the trip a very worthwhile experience.

Well done to the Under 14 football team who recently played in the semi-final of the Lanarkshire League Cup against Lanark Grammar.

Despite a superb effort by the team we lost 4-2 with goals from Hamish Boland and Sam Bryant.

The boys are: Hamish Boland, Sam Bryant, Connor Coyle, Lewis Croly, Max Dunlop, Ross Hamilton, Adam Hunter, Daniel McGarry, Sam Pender, Dylan Reilly, Owen Robertson, Evan Shaw, Lewis Smith, Matthew Smith and Aaron Welsh 

Well done to everyone involved.

Please support us in ensuring your child has full PE kit for every PE lesson. This includes a plain white t shirt, dark shorts or tracksuit bottoms and trainers.

If your child has an illness or injury they should still come prepared with their kit and a note to explain the injury/illness. Once changed into their kit, they will be asked to take on a different role in the lesson.

We would greatly appreciate your support in ensuring a positive ethos in our department.
