BBC SCOTLAND 2015 APPRENTICESHIP SCHEME

The BBC Scotland 2015 Apprenticeship scheme is a fantastic opportunity to kick-start your career in the media industry and is now OPEN for applications!

From September 2014, 10 people will have the chance to work with BBC professionals on Radio, TV and Online content across a range of departments such as Sport, Children’s, Learning and News.

Your on-the-job experience along with BBC training and study at Glasgow Kelvin College will all add up to the skills and knowledge you need to achieve a Creative & Digital Media Apprenticeship at Level 3.
There are no formal qualifications but you must have good basic maths, English and IT skills, as well as a keen interest in the media.

For further info on this opportunity and advice on the application process please see

S3 XL Christmas Parcels

We are going to make parcels of foods and non-perishable items to be given to some of the Elderly in the local community
We are sending out a letter to every young person in the school to ask for a donation of a tin or non-perishable item and once this is all gathered in we will make up the parcels to be delivered to the Elderly. We are also hoping that staff will help by bringing in an item too.
Pupils should hand in names of people to receive parcels and any items to their class tutor teacher.
The class who donates the most wins the mystery PRIZE!
All items should be received by Monday 16th December

Hint of Tartan Day

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.

Scottish SPCA

There are only two weeks left to get your donations in!!! Final donations collected Monday 25th November!!!

A huge thank you to those who have already donated!

The Cardonald Dog and Cat home is appealing for donations of new or old clean blankets, towels and sheets to be used for the animals in their care for the approaching cold winter weather. Please note, duvets or pillows cannot be used as the insides may be harmful to the animals if swallowed. Also donations of tins/cartons of dog or cat food will also be very much appreciated. This appeal will be running in the school for the few weeks and we will look to deposit any donations near the end of November. If you have any donations, please bring them to Miss McSween at the P.E Dept.

Thank you.
