Some of our S2 pupils had the opportunity to interview author Matt Dickinson at the Edinburgh International Book Festival in August. They did really well. So well in fact the Matt Dickincon has offered to come to our school on Tuesday 5th November to give two explosive workshops to more of our young people. A creative wrinting workshop to help some of our older pupils with their imaginative wrinting skills and another talk to our first year pupils about his experiences climbing Mount Everest and his “Mortal Chaos” series.
Listen to the interview here.
S5 pupils undertaking 3+ Highers who signed up to the Mentoring Programme should check the UCAS notice board outside the Head Teacher’s for information regarding their Mentor. Pupils should approach their Mentors before the end of the week to arrange the first Mentoring session. Pupils are reminded that they must give sufficient notice to their Mentor if they are unable to attend a pre-arranged meeting.

Today Lourdes Secondary School turned pink in support of breast cancer research. Pupils were invited to wear something pink and volunteers from the Higher Leadership class teamed up with members of staff to raise awareness.
Amongst the festivities, there was a Teacher’s Blind Date, nail bar, bake sale and pink lemonade stall!
Overall, the day was a huge success and a great time was had by all. Thanks to the tremendous effort and hard work of staff and pupils, a total of £1,137.11 was raised.

The Year of Faith for the Catholic Church throughout the world opens on Thursday of this week. The year is intended to be, “a special time of grace in which we discover or rediscover the life-changing experience of encountering Jesus Christ.” Philip Tartaglia, Archbishop of Glasgow.
A number of events are planned across the world to mark this year and an official website www.yearoffaithscotland.com has been established in Scotland. Assemblies will focus on this throughout the week and prayer cards will also be distributed. In Lourdes Secondary we will also note the opening of the Year of Faith in other ways, details of which will follow.
Envelopes for S1 photographs should be brought to the school office no later than Friday 12 October.
Thanks
