  Hello everyone, I’m Alastair. I am a teacher in The EYC at Colquhoun Park on a Monday and a Tuesday. I have worked in nurseries and primary schools throughout East Dunbartonshire and Glasgow for the past ten years. Working alongside Carol, I focus on developing our learner’s literacy and numeracy skills through a variety of engaging and challenging learning experiences and activities.

• Aid To The Church In Need Youth Rally 2026

  

  The Aid to the Church in Need rally is a welcoming faithful celebration for youth all over Scotland, to remind and teach them about how lucky they are to be surrounded by the Christian faith and God’s love.  However, you’d think that every Christian around the world has the possibility to celebrate this faith…. But no. They also taught us that Christians all over the world do not get the same freedom and right to celebrate their faith. Rather they are persecuted for it. Tortured. Killed. Raped. But it wasn’t only the people that were at fault for their faith.

  There is so much going on in RE and chaplaincy that we don’t have time to write about it! In June we were delighted to welcome priests and religious from around West Central Scotland to share their life stories with our S6 pupils. Meeting such inspiring people who have done extraordinary things in the service of God and His people is an invaluable opportunity for the young people. Conversation covered a huge range of topics and gave S6 pupils a sense that God is calling them to do amazing things in His name too!

• Aspiring Catholic Teacher Scheme

  

  Catholic schools need brilliant teachers and at Turnbull High School we have S6 pupils who are already aspiring to be just that. In the RE department, we have introduced an Aspiring Catholic Teacher Scheme which aims to offer such pupils support with applications and interviews in addition to valuable experience in the classroom. Those who have signed up are already helping in classes and engaging with staff in short mentoring conversations about aspects of learning and teaching. We hope that this scheme will empower them with foundational experience and help them to discern their calling as the next generation of
