Transition
Some of our senior pupils are working towards an award as Science Ambassadors and their efforts add further worthwhile activity to our already successful transition program. The photographs are from the Holy Family P7 class who were working with the Science Ambassadors on a parachute investigation.
Summer Show
The hit musical Sunshine on Leith is coming to CNHS. If you would like to audition for a part or help out speak to Mr McLaughlin.
Social Studies
Well done to the 25 Higher Historians who participated in the Great War Debate at the National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh. This event was hosted by Newsnight – a fabulous experience for everyone including Mr Crawford.
Transition
The Transition Team are really looking forward to visiting our associate primaries for the P7 Roadshows. The event in November was a resounding success with over 300 pupils and parents joining us for subject taster sessions and a tour of the school.
The roadshow events are a fantastic opportunity where we get to visit our upcoming pupils and parents in a smaller setting which allows us to answer any questions posed.
Road Safety
Please remember to drive slowly in and around the school grounds. We have a number of traffic calming measures in place to try to keep everyone concerned safe, please adhere to them. The roundabouts at the bottom of the drive can be very busy at times so be careful, the safety of our pupils, parents and those passing by is important to us.
2017 Update
Pupils have been issued with a letter and a leaflet giving information about the exciting planned upgrade of our school. For information click on the link to our information page or look at the photographs below.

A big thank you also to our music department and especially Mr McLaughlin for all his hard work.
