This year the RME department are running a trip to Glasgow Central Mosque and the Glasgow Central Gurdwara to supplement your child’s learning in the RME course.

The trip will be from 9.45am-1.45pm on Wednesday 25th January.  This should benefit your child in deepening their knowledge of Islam and Sikhism.

The details for the trip are as follows:

• Pupils will meet at the front doors of the school at 9.45am and board the bus which will take them to Glasgow Central Mosque.
• Pupils will partake in a guided tour of the mosque from 10.30am – 11.30am and be given opportunities to answer questions.
• Pupils will re-board the bus and be taken to the Sikh Gurdwara in Albert Drive, Glasgow where they will partake in a tour from 12 noon until 12.45pm.
• Pupils will be offered free food (Langar) at the Gurdwara which will all be vegetarian. If your child would like to bring their own food to eat instead, please ensure that no meat, eggs or fish products are brought onto the premises.
• The bus will then take pupils back to school for approximately 1.30pm and they will go back to class.

Pupils are expected to wear full school uniform on the visit. There is also a dress code when entering the places of worship.  Female learners must wear a long skirt or trousers, and their shoulders and hair must be covered with a head scarf. Male pupils must wear full school uniform. 

The cost of this trip is £7 Please use Parent Pay (available from our website) to pay this no later than Thursday 12^th January. Please also the consent form (available from Miss Vannini or Mr Bowman) for the same date.  Places on this trip will be granted as first come first served so please pay promptly to ensure your child’s place on this educational visit.
