We bring before the Lord those who have recently been baptised or confirmed – or who are about to be – that they may be true to themselves and may live their faith in a genuine and credible way.
Lord, in your mercy,
Hear our prayer.
Keep all our SQA candidates in your thoughts.
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.
A reminder for all current S2 pupils that there will be a short meeting in Mr Crawford’s room G3, at 1pm on Tuesday to create a team of pupils to work with other European schools to create an online eBook showcasing Scotland’s War Memorials.
The team will travel around Scotland’s cities documenting the different war memorials and similar teams will document the same in France, Germany and Holland and hopefully all pupils will meet in France in June 2017.
Please come along to find out more information.

O Lord, from whom all good things come:
grant to us your humble servants,
that by your gifts of the Holy Spirit
we may be inspired to act and proclaim your gospel as the apostles did on the day of Pentecost.
We ask this through Jesus Christ your Son. Amen.

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.
