The 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.

It’s been a fantastic year in Cardinal Newman High School!
This last term has afforded many opportunities for our pupils to celebrate their successes in wider achievement and in attainment. I am very grateful to the staff of the school for the outstanding effort they have made for all of our young people.
To our parents and carers I say thank you for your very positive and generous support for all that we do in school. I hope this newsletter gives you a flavour of what this term has been all about!
Best wishes for a restful holiday.
