The S3 XL class organised and hosted a tea party on 9th June. The class invited residents from our local elderly care homes to come along for an afternoon of tea, coffee, home-baking and live entertainment.
Our guests enjoyed the refreshments provided, much of which was created by pupils in our Home Economics Department, and were enthralled by the array of music and drama provided by our Performing Arts Department. Many of our visitors won prizes in the raffle and everyone then joined in the sing-along led by Mrs MacVicar and Mrs Carpy.
Our guests thoroughly enjoyed their visit and many commented on how impressed they were by the conduct of all the pupils involved.
Well done!!
Just a huge thank you to all who donated blankets, towels, sheets, jackets, food and toys to the Cat and Dog Home appeal. Some of the S3 and S5 girls visited the home this morning to deliver the donations. The staff wanted to extend their gratitude and appreciation and they commented on how large a donation we had collected.
Thanks again for your help and support with this appeal.
Reminder that pupils can pay 50p on Friday to wear a hint of tartan with their school uniform for St Andrew’s Day. All proceeds will be donated to the SCIAF appeal for the Philippines. The Dinner Hall will serve scotch broth, steak pie and shortbread in addition to the usual meals on offer and there will be a special Live at Lourdes broadcast. Our Caritas students will also lead a short service over the tannoy.
A huge thank you to those who have already donated!

There is a non-uniform day on Thursday 20 December. Pupils will be asked to contribute £1 for the ‘privilege’ of not wearing their uniform and all money raised will go towards the parcels for the elderly.
Tutor teachers will collect this money.
On December 14th the higher health and food technology class are hosting a rich man poor man lunch for S6 pupils and Teachers. This is to raise money for SCIAF and to raise awareness of the poverty in the world today. 80% of the world live in poverty and don’t have enough food but 20% of the world has too much food.
Tickets cost £2. A selection of tickets will say rich man and a selection will say poor man. It’s a lucky dip so why not take a chance. The lunch will take place at 12.30 – 1.15 in the SS Hall.
