G-STARS S1 – S6 pupils

Are you the next Rihanna, Tinie Tempah or One Direction? If so get along to G-Stars!  G-Stars is a FREE weeklong “X Factor” style contest for young people aged 12 – 18 who live in the South side of Glasgow (or go to school there).

Here’s a snap shot!

Enjoy expert coaching from professional singers and choreographers.

Battle it out for first prize in our star-studded Grand Final at the O2 Academy, 20th October 2012.

G-Stars takes place on Monday 15th till Friday 19th of October from 10am-4pm in Lourdes Secondary until our Grand Finale weekend on 20th October in the 02 Academy.

Established acts welcome but priority given to those with little or no experience.

If you applied before, you can apply again!

Your application must be authorised by a parent or guardian and be handed back to Glasgow Life staff by 5th of October at the latest.

Let’s Grow 2012!

Once again, Lourdes Secondary is collecting Let’s Grow gardening vouchers from Morrison’s Supermarkets. These have been used to buy a wide range of gardening equipment along with some packs of flower and vegetable seeds.

We plan to use the Quadrangle to plant more and are looking for staff, pupils, family and friends to collect and hand in as many vouchers as possible.

Please hand in any vouchers to Mr Raeburn or Miss Jamieson before the 28th of October.

Thank you from the Eco Committee

Performing Arts Trip to London

A number of places are available for the Performing Arts annual trip to London. The trip will take place from the 17th-19th June 2013. The trip involves going to top West End shows, including Wicked, west end workshops with top performers, sightseeing, shopping and we are hoping to secure tickets to the Harry Potter studio tour. If there are any pupils in S3-S6 who would be interested in participating in the exciting opportunity, they should see Mrs Gray in Drama as soon as possible. Places are limited and will be offered on a first come first serve basis. Pupils do not necessarily need to currently be studying Music or Drama.

Thanks

Mrs Gray
