Note from Scottish Water

‘Phase 3: On completion of the second phase of our works, work will start on Rouken Glen Road.  This work requires a road closure, which will take affect from 9th May for approx. 5 months.  During this work it will be necessary to move bus stops in the area.  The new ones will be clearly marked.  There will be temporary pedestrian crossings on Speirsbridge Road close to the junction of Rouken Glen Road.’

Access into the building is then by either side door (which both now have ramps)Children and sponsors should enter the Hall, following the path indicated taking account of the safety fencing.The porch area is out of commission so the only accessible toilets are in the Hall.The Cathedral car park will not be available for parking; there is limited open parking on the right hand side of Gartmore Lane and some on Paisley Road, while the nearest public parking is in the car park opposite the Lagoon Leisure Centre.

First of all I would like to congratulate all of our Primary 7 pupils on their full participation and excellent behaviour in the Bibleworld exhibition. From sitting in an aeroplane to using a printing press, the activities were very informative and interactive!

This will be an opportunity for all children and staff to take “time out” from our busy lives and reflect upon our relationships with those who are important to us.
