We have launched this programme for 36 pupils to attend Outward Bound in May. This is in partnership with DHL who pay for this. They cover the majority of the cost, and Mr Cairns has found the funding to cover the rest, it will not cost the pupils anything. This is an outdoor activity week which helps pupils build a variety of key skills including confidence, team-building, communication etc. it is a very challenging and demanding course, but is great fun (hence why I have been doing it for over 20 years). To be part of this opportunity then you must complete the application from via the link below:

Happy New Year to our school community.  As you know, we return to school on Monday 10th January and we are looking forward to welcoming everyone back.  North Lanarkshire Council have produced a short video to support everyone with testing regularly.

You can view the video below.

Our pupils & staff can reduce COVID-19 risks by taking a lateral flow test the night before or on the morning of their return to school after the festive break.

Pupils & staff should also take regular tests twice a week. All results should be recorded.
