Mr Crawford accompanied 15 of our senior pupils to the Mitchell Library today to an educational workshop. This event was coordinated by Education Scotland, The Devils’ Porridge Museum and the Govan Workspace. The theme was “How Industries Supported the War” which links in with the Higher History WW1 topic. Well done to all involved.
Yesterday Miss Sinclair lead a trip to the trenches. Pollock Park has reconstructed trenches and displays to show the conditions the soldiers lived and fought in during WW1. The teachers reported back that it was a fantastic learning experience and that as expected our pupils behaved impeccably. Well done to all those involved.
There are still a few spaces available on the Lourdes/Paris trip – 15 to 23 June 2017. S4/5 boys are especially in short supply, if interested you should see Mr McGrory for further information. 
A small selection of photos are now available in the Pupil area of the website – new posts will appear as photographs are shared.

Staff and pupils turned out yesterday morning to run round Strathclyde Park in aid of St Andrew’s Hospice. The weather
was perfect for those trying to beat their personal bests in a 6K race. The results will be posted as they come in later today.
Well done to all who took part.
Don’t forget to get all sponsor monies to Mr McCluskey as soon as possible. 
Today we were visited by Lara MacDonald from the Glasgow Children’s Hospital Charity. Lara gave the pupils a talk on the fantastic work of the this charity. The hospital might be better known to you as the former Yorkhill Sick Kids Hopsital.
“We help the babies, children and young people treated at Scotland’s largest children’s hospital, the Royal Hospital for Children, Glasgow. We fund medical equipment, research, play programmes and family support services to ensure that our young patients receive the best possible care and experience.”
CNHS were delighted to hand over a cheque for £2,590 raised solely by the hard work of Jack Moxen of Kentigern House. Jack spent much of the summer selling home made cakes and the weather certainly wasn’t always in his favour.
