Our very 1st Parent Council quiz night was a resounding success.

Parents, staff and former pupils met up in Holy Family Church hall for a 40th Anniversary fundraising event.  We had a quiz, raffle ticket bingo, raffle prizes and a great deal of hilarity.

A big thank you to all involved – we raised £751.79.

Staff and pupils participated in Glasgow’s Race For Life this morning.  A great opportunity and experience for our young people, the teachers enjoyed their morning too.  Well done to all who took part.

Science – Technology – Engineering – Maths

Today our S1 were challenged to plan, design and build a floating garden.  Each group had to produce a cost effective, sustainable way of growing the maximum amount of food.  Many thanks to @AmdMcGinty for the superb prizes of family passes to the Glasgow Science Centre, the pupils were delighted! @gsc1  A massive thank you also goes to our STEM Ambassadors Carol, Emma & Peter for their contributions today, it was very much appreciated.

S1 STEM day awards….best design…..most innovative…..best individual performance.

With thanks to our Ambassadors Emma and Carol.

This years’ 2 day visit for our new S1 intake is on Tuesday May 9 and Wednesday May 10.

Pupils should come in their own school uniform and meet in the red social area before the bell, day one finishes at 3.15pm.  Remember we have a welcome disco on Tuesday 6-8pm, and that Wednesday is PE all afternoon finishing at 3pm.

Lunch will be provided but send coins with your child if they intend to buy a snack at break too.

The Parent Council are organising a fantastic quiz night in support of our 40th Anniversary fundraising events.  

We have a full programme of activities planned by an experienced quiz master.

Tickets can be purchased from the school office or members of the parent council.

Please also help out with donations for raffle prizes .

An exciting feature of this quiz are transfer windows, buying and selling of players and the buying of answers!

A Huge thank you goes out to all our visitors and senior pupils’ involved in the CNHS@Work event where the whole S3 cohort got to speak to a whole range of employers, occupations, entrepreneurs and senior pupils balancing school work and part-time work.
