Below are a few fabulous photos of our S5 and S6 pupils currently in New York City 🇺🇸

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.
