Navy STEM Learning Event – Thursday 19 November 2020

We were delighted to welcome the Navy to Lourdes Secondary today. They provided a STEM learning experience for some of our young people.

This event was fun and informative and helped increase confidence and enthusiasm across this group.

Virtual Open Evening

Lourdes Secondary school will be hosting our annual Open Evening for Parents of pupils who are currently in Primary 7 on Thursday 19th November from 7pm.

The event will be a virtual experience and can be accessed and viewed on our school app. Click here to access instructions to download the school app.

The virtual Open Evening will provide an introduction to key aspects of the school and transition from P7. You will also have the opportunity to gain a real insight into teaching and learning across the school in S1 and beyond.

Also, at this early stage, I should be grateful if you would share this information about this important event with any parents of P7 children who are or may be interested attending Lourdes Secondary from August 2021.

The virtual event will remain on the school app for the next few months.

We look forward to welcoming our P7 pupils and parents on Thursday 19th November.

Virtual Numeracy Evening for S1 Parents

Have you ever said to your child “that’s not the way I do it” or “Don’t ask me, I’m rubbish at maths”? If so, then take the opportunity to come along to our  Virtual Numeracy Event for all S1 parents and careers on Thursday 17th September at 7pm for an hour of support and help with Numeracy which will help you support your child at home with their Numeracy in the future.

 

The event will take place online and you can participate in the comfort of your own home. More details to follow. We look forward to seeing you there.

Government Update – A Message from the Head Teacher 28 August 2020

Dear Parent/Carer,

I wish to congratulate all our pupils for their willingness and support so far in making a very smooth  and safe return to school.

The Government and Council announced an update this week on the strategies to be employed in school to make us all feel safer.

From Monday all pupils and staff are required to wear a face mask or face covering when moving from class to class, in social areas and in practical workshops in Technical.

There will be some medical exemptions to this – please inform your child’s Pastoral Care Teacher if this applies to your child.

S1 – Miss Campbell gw17campbellsarahann@glow.ea.glasgow.sch.uk

S2 – Miss Fitzpatrick gw15fitzpatrickashle@glow.sch.uk

S3 – Mrs Cassidy SHiggins@lourdes-sec.glasgow.sch.uk

S4 – Mr Blaney HBlaney@lourdes-sec.glasgow.sch.uk

S5 – Mrs Hughes ahughes@lourdes-sec.glasgow.sch.uk

S6 – Mr Downes RDownes@lourdes-sec.glasgow.sch.uk

There is no requirement for face coverings in class but all pupils and staff can wear these if it makes them feel safer.

I ask you to support us in this by ensuring that your child has a covering, is aware of the correct methodology for putting on/taking off and can safely store when not required.

Best Wishes

Mr McGuigan
