Parental reminder: S3 pupils will receive their vaccinations in school next Wednesday 15th March.

If you have not done so please return the permission slip as soon as possible.

On Wednesday the S1 After School Group gave an informative interactive talk on the dangers of smoking and E-cigarettes. The pupils delivered their presentation with confidence and should be very proud of themselves.

The group have also completed the ‘Skill’ section which was on singing and music techniques and are currently working towards the ‘Service’ section.
Well done to group members- Paul McGuinness, Caitlin McInally, Callan Hay, Tommy Boylan, Emily Murray, Jack Moxen and Jack Meechan.

The last day for handing in monies for hoodies is next Friday, 3rd March. The yearbook team need the money up front before they can process the order. Can you make sure you give your total to the House Captains who are dealing with this before 3pm on the 3rd March!!!

Each total varies from £18- £21 depending on the specification of text.

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.

The main focus of the event was to engage pupils with a range of occupations and career pathways, remembering that whilst only at the school for a short time they will be in the labour market for about 50 years!!

Calling all parents/guardians. We are organising a careers event for our S3 cohort and would love for you to get involved.
Come along to the @work event and discuss with our S3 pupils what it is like to be at work, roles, responsibilities, work ethic etc. So please phone and book a space or email Mr Conaghan at;
CConaghan@cardinalnewman.n-lanark.sch.uk

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.

Last night staff and pupils attended Mother Civic Centre for the Battle of The Bands event.  It was a fantastic evening with talent on show from nine schools in North Lanarkshire.  Our entry – Ultra Violet – did us proud gaining second place.  Well done to our band members Stefanie Boyle, Rainne Downey, Nicole Smith, Jody Mullen, Dougie Steadman and Marje Batucan.  A big thank you also to our music department and especially Mr McLaughlin for all his hard work.

Well done to all our St Andrew’s Hospice Ambassadors for raising £457 today with a Christmas Jumper dress down day.  The event was their first fundraising venture since assuming this important role – fabulous achievement.

Well done to everyone who ran the Glasgow Santa Dash yesterday in aid of Beatson Cancer Care.  Six staff and twenty-one pupils met at 8.30 am and dedicated their Sunday to this amazing cause.  The CNHS runners entertained the crowd on their way round by singing Christmas Carols and even took requests – confidence and commitment.

These events are open to all pupils so – why not get involved?
