17th January 2017 Cardinal Newman High School Careers Fayre
The Careers fair will be an opportunity for students in all year groups, and the parents of students in S5/6 employers/education to discuss and exchange information on employment goals and opportunities. It is hoped that the pupils will get an insight into the courses, career options and post school destinations offered.
The fayre will also look to introduce pupils to the world of work while still at school and see the potential of their coursework relating to key skills needed in order to become a successful professional.
The fayre will offer pupils the opportunity to develop skills in communication, and networking preparing them for professional interactions beyond school.
At the parents evening the parents will have the opportunity to engage with the attendees. Employers and Further education providers who will be attending include: GTG Training, Bosch Automotive Service Solutions, Army, RAF, Navy, Qualitas International (Hair and Childcare), Glasgow Kelvin College, UWS, NCL Foundation Apprenticeship team, Glasgow Caledonian University, City of Glasgow College, the Police and the Fire Service.
The S5/6 Parent Meeting will be held in school on Tuesday January 17 from 4.05pm. Parents should sign in at the yellow entrance where they will be given some important information leaflets.
A Careers Fayre is also included in this evening with a large number of stalls offering information and advice. Have a cup of tea or coffee and browse the interesting and informative displays.

Dear Lord, we pray for peace in our world. Not just the absence of war but good communications and trusting relationships between all nations. We pray that national leaders continue to strive for other ways to end disputes rather than war. Please help us to know what we can do to promote true peace in our world.
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.

This week is our annual “Literacy Week” with visiting authors, door displays, cross-curricular events and competitions. On Monday an S1 group from 1M1 beat a team of S6 in a Christmas Literacy Quiz – Well Done. This event is organised by the English Department and The Literacy Group to emphasise the importance of literacy in all that we do.
God sows in the hearts of those who love him. Our preparations for Christmas often overwhelm us with occasions for waiting. We wait in line at stores. We wait in crowded bus stations, train stations, and traffic jams as we travel. We wait for Christmas bonuses, travelling relatives, online deliveries, the cookies in the oven to finish baking, and Santa. Waiting is not, however, a passive action. Waiting is an opportunity to grow in faith, hope, and love. Advent is a lesson in waiting … dynamic waiting … transformative waiting.
Father in heaven, our hearts desire the warmth of your love and our minds are searching for the light of your Word. Increase our longing for Christ our Saviour and give us the strength to grow in love, that the dawn of his coming may find us rejoicing in his presence and welcoming the light of his truth. We ask this in the name of Jesus the Lord. Amen.
