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
