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.
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.
We have just had confirmation that the Birkenshaw school bus is running late due to taffic light failure on Bellshill Road.
Our uniform supplier Logoxpress will be in school on Tuesday, 7 June 2016 to measure up all pupils for blazers.
If you do not wish your child to be measured please advise the office at the earliest convenience.
The Primary 7 pupils had a great time at their disco in the school last night and many new friendships were made. We look forward to seeing the pupils in August for their next new adventure.
Please note that DTp and Men W for S3 pupils, S4 – S6 catch-ups and S1 – S2 (girls only) HPV catch-ups will take place in the Theatre on Friday 3 June, 2016 throughout the day.

The Pupil Council has recently been involved in initial discussions of the vision and values of the school. What is most clear already is that pupil involvement is key if they are to have ownership of the values of their school. To this end, over the next two months the Pupil Council will ensure ALL pupils have the opportunity to shape these values through a series of group tasks in Homeroom. Parents and staff will also be invited to participate. As a school community, we look forward to undertaking this important task and to relaunching our revised vision and values in due course.
Reflection
This Eastertide all of us are called to experience the great joy of the Resurrection. A great way to do that is to imagine yourself with Mary outside the tomb of Jesus. And to try to experience the marvellous joy that flooded her whole being at the moment that she recognized Jesus. Try to recognise the importance of Jesus in your own life.
Prayer
Almighty God, who through your only‑begotten Son Jesus Christ overcame death and opened to us the gate of everlasting life: Grant that we, who celebrate with joy the Lord’s resurrection, may be raised from the death of sin by your life‑giving Spirit; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.
Amen.
School Prayer
Lord, I thank you for bringing me to another day.
May I live it completely for You,
Through you,
With You and in you. Amen
Blessed John Henry Newman, Pray for Us.
Reflection
Think about the person that looks after you? Mum, Dad, Gran, Sister, etc. What do they do to make your life ha
ppy, healthy and peaceful that you don’t usually see them do it or even pay attention to them doing it? (making lunch, going to the shops, doing the laundry, smiling when you need encouragement, quizzing you on a spelling test). Now think about the things the Holy Spirit does for you to make your life peaceful, happy and healthy. Think today about how we can show God how thankful we are for the Holy Spirit and those who look after us.
Prayer
Jesus, our brother, thank you for loving us and calling us to follow you. Help us to listen to your Word and follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit and those who love us. IN your name we pray. Amen
School Prayer
Lord, I thank you for bringing me to another day.
I live it com
pletely for You,
Through you,
With You and in you. Amen
Blessed John Henry Newman, Pray for Us.
The GeoBus visited Cardinal Newman High School today. This is an educational outreach project developed and run by the Department of Earth & Environmental Sciences
at the University of St Andrews.
The Geobus aims to support Earth Science teaching, inspire young learners and highlight career opportunities in Geology, Earth Sciences and STEM areas generally.
Our youngsters enjoyed learning about a variety of topics including earthquakes and volcanoes, they attempted to build structures which could withstand the power of a devastating earthquake. Thank you to Mrs Daly for organising this.
Reminder:
In the theatre tonight from 6.30pm there will be a presentation on the up coming S1 specialisation event. Mr 
Ross and Mrs McGhee will explain the process and answer any questions you may have. This will be followed by refreshments in our Snapdragon restaurant.
