Saturday 27th August 2016

Fourteen S3 pupils have embarked on a War Memorial Tour of Scotland with Mr Crawford and Miss Gallagher.  Back in March, Mr Crawford was fortunate to be selected to attend a British Council for Schools workshop in France which, with the aid of the European Commission, was set up to forge relationships with partner schools in Europe.  Following the conclusion of the course, Mr Crawford had partnered with high schools in France, Holland and Germany to create an online e-Magazine that would showcase the First World War Memorials in each country.Glasgow1

Following a very competitive selection process, fourteen S3 pupils were chosen to collect and record the information on Scotland’s main First World War Memorials and with funding provided by the school and Scotrail, they will travel to Glasgow, Edinburgh, Perth, Stirling, Inverness and Aberdeen in the coming months to collate their information.

Saturday’s excursion started with a subway trip to Kelvingrove Park to document the Cameronian Scottish Rifles monument located outside the Kelvingrove Art Gallery & Museum. Regarded as one of the finest war memorials in Scotland pupils learned that the statue, which was designed by army captain Philip Clark, commemorates the sacrifice, victory and determination of the Cameronians and was opened by Field Marshal Douglas Haig in August 1924.  After a quick tour of the nearby museum it was onwards to George Square to see the city’s main civic memorial to the Great War.  The George Square Cenotaph was opened by Field Marshal Haig in May 1924 and is dedicated to the 200,000 Glasgow2Glaswegians who volunteered to defend their country in its hour of need.  The pupils learned that 18,000 of those soldiers did not return and the monument was built as a permanent reminder of the ultimate sacrifice made by those young men.  Statues of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert had to be moved to the west side of George Square to accommodate the Cenotaph and the entire structure was built initially in wood so that the city’s fathers could see if it ruined the view of the City Chambers.

Next week the pupils will be travelling to Stirling to document the towns memorial and visit Stirling Castle.

S1 Fun

A message from Emmet Dooley

EdgepicThe Gonzaga Project is an Inter Parish Youth initiative that serves young people from Holy Family Church Mossend, St. Brides Bothwell and St. John the Baptist Church Uddingston. The friendships made within the first few weeks of high school can play such a huge role in shaping our young people’s high school experience.

To support your child in this time of transition the Gonzaga Project would like to offer a series of interactive social events called EDGE nights. Each of these will be an opportunity for your child to meet and grow in friendship with other first year students. This will be facilitated through games, group/team activities and to explore different topics from a Christian perspective that are relevant to their stage in life i.e. correct social media use. All this will be carried out in a safe environment with PVG’d adults present.

The 1st Edge night will be on Sunday the 28th of August 7 – 9pm in Holy Family Pastoral centre (The Loft) 57 Hope Street, Bellshill, ML4 1QA.

If you have any questions or require further information then please don’t hesitate to contact me via phone, email or through the Gonzaga Project facebook page. With your support I pray that we can inspire and empower our young people to become who they are meant to be and live good fulfilled Christian lives.

Very kind regards

Emmet Dooley

Fiesta del Corpus Christi y la santa cruz

It is with great pleasure that we announce today the date and time of the next Spanish fiesta. It will be based on the celebation of Corpus Christi and the Holy Cross – and particularly in the Cruces de mayo, typical from Spain.

Moreover, this is a special fiesta since it is an occasion to remember our dear Canon Glackin, who, sadly, passed away recently. This fiesta has been organised as a tribute for his memory, given that he was always very gladly involved and committed to everything that could be a joyful and enriching experience for the children and young people of our learning comunity.

P7 Visits

In honour of the new dance course and Columba’s P7’s display yesterday:

There was a wee house called Columba
Whose sports people were better at Rumba
Now it’s Strictly Come dancing
With some stylish prancing:
It’s ballroom and tap for Columba.
