Mini Mudder
On Saturday 17th June a group of young people who attend an after school group with Bellshill Youthwork – Community Learning and Development team – took part in the Mini Mudder obstacle course at Drumlanrig Castle in Dumfriesshire. Mini mudder is a 1 mile run where young people tackle various muddy and wet obstacles and challenges and get round the course by working as part of a team. The group consisted of 1st year pupils from both Bellshill Academy and Cardinal Newman HS and they are aiming to complete a North Lanarkshire Challenge Award.
CNHS and Bellshill Youthwork Team are extremely proud of everyone in the group, their attitude and belief in themselves in tackling this course,not just as an individual but as part of a team, was outstanding. They worked well together, listened to instructions, took part and helped each other around the course and most of all they had an amazing amount of fun. It is great to see the pupils from two schools bond together on the day, make new friends and face difficult challenges together.
Other photos can be viewed in the facebook page – Bellshill Youthwork.
Some of our proud parents have been posting tweets of photographs from Tuesday’s BGE Award Ceremony. Â Follow the school twitter on @CN_HS for news, information and photographs from all our exciting events.

School Summer Trip – June 2017
Pupils will be issued with letters on Thursday (25/05/17) about the School Summer Trip on Thursday 22 June 2017.
This year the destination for our summer outing for S1 – S3 pupils will be the theme park on Blackpool Pleasure Beach. The coaches will be leaving school at 7.00am on Thursday 22 June and returning at approximately 8.00pm. The theme park is an enclosed space and pupils are unable to leave unless accompanied by a member of staff.
We have places for 175 pupils and staff, so if the number of pupils wishing to come to Blackpool exceeds that number then seats will be allocated by drawing names by ballot.
The price this year is £36 and includes travel and the wristband which gives unlimited rides on all of the attractions.
If your child is in S1 – S3 and wishes to go on the trip you should complete and sign the tear off slip attached and return it together with the money as soon as possible to the school office.
Please also note that any pupil has who breached the school discipline policy, in this term or in the weeks leading up to the trip, including being sent to Time –Out, will not be allowed to travel to Blackpool. Any such pupil will have their money returned and their place on the trip will be allocated to another pupil. This includes conduct on other school trips.
