Easter School Timetable 2023

Pupils will be asked to sign up for revision classes during an assembly on Wednesday.  Unfortunately pupils will require to organise their own transport to and from school as there will be no school transport available during this time.

Over the next couple of weeks the Pupil Support team will be conducting option interviews with our current S4/5 pupils who are due to move into S5/6 in June.

As you will be aware this is a very important time of the year for all the pupils and parents as it will not only determine courses for next session but it confirms the possible pathways for gaining future qualifications.

With this in mind and to help inform parents and pupils we have provided a copy of the S5/6 option form, a copy of the option information booklet which contains information on each subject available for S5/6, as well as  a copy of the FAQs.

Additionally there is a booklet detailing Foundation Apprenticeships on offer for next session.

Cumbernauld Academy Sustainability Committee presents: New To You! From Monday 13^th March, pupils can drop off items they no longer use at Mr McNamara’s room (F057). We are accepting: clothes for all ages/sizes (must be washed), accessories, sealed and unused cosmetics, games/toys, books/DVDs, home items. All items must be in good condition for someone else to use and love. On Thursday 23^rd March at lunchtime, all pupils are invited to the hall to browse and choose a new item for free (depending on supply). There is no money involved and pupils will not be ‘buying’ items. This is not a shop or charity fundraiser, but a way of encouraging sustainable habits and reducing consumption. See Mr McNamara, Mrs Murray or Miss Small for more information.
