Green Flag Hat Trick


An informal celebration took place in the school on Monday 16th June to mark the award of a third Green Flag from Eco Schools Scotland !
Lourdes Secondary is one of only three high schools in Glasgow to have Green Flag status but is the only Catholic secondary in Glasgow to have a triple award.
In addition to the Litter topic, the two new areas of attention for this award were Biodiversity and Food and the Environment. Several of our Eco Committee members from last year’s sixth year came back to school… they played a huge part in this success, with some having been Eco pupils since S1 and can be very proud knowing that their efforts and enthusiasm brought about two of the flags!
Mr Raeburn and Mrs Gallagher were the staff members of the Eco Committee present along with some fourth year pupils. They were joined by Mr McGuigan, Mrs Downie, Mrs Devine, Ms Cairney, Mr Kerr along with Mrs Running, Mrs O’Sullivan and Mrs Osborne from the PTA

Commonwealth Week

It is Commonwealth Week this week and many lessons in school will have a Commonwealth Games link to them.

On Friday 13th June, there will be some Commonwealth activities on at lunch time in the P.E gyms for anyone who would like to come down and have a go.

We will have badminton, table tennis and high jump. Depending on the weather, we may have a version of lawn bowls on the front pitch.

Watch this space for photos from the weeks events.
