Exam leave for senior phase pupils S4 – S6 begins on Tuesday May 3 and will finish on Friday 3 June 2016. All pupils in S5 and S6 will have exam leave.
S4 pupils who are sitting any National 5 qualifications, regardless of the subjects involved, will have exam leave for the whole of the SQA examination diet i.e. May 3 till June 3 2016 (inclusive).
Pupils on exam leave may still come to school to study. The library and other ICT facilities will be available for use. Pupils are also able to meet with their subject teachers at the times displayed on their current senior phase timetable.
Pupils who are entered for National 4 qualifications only will not have any exam leave and will follow an amended timetable alongside a planned programme of events. Mr Smith, DHT, will issue details of the amended timetable and additional events at S4 assemblies weeks beginning 18 and 25 April 2016.
There will be a couple of useful lectures taking place at the University of Stirling for students in Scotland, who wish to pursue a career in medicine. Please could you kindly forward this information on to students, parents and careers advisors. The conferences and lectures are suitable for students in years 10-12 and we also encourage parents to attend if they wish because there is a lot of valuable information for them too such as funding and maintenance costs.
There are also fully funded spaces for teachers and students from disadvantaged backgrounds. If you are interested in applying for these please give us a call on 07454704204.
I have also listed the lectures below.

Sometimes when the weather changes and the sun shines we can struggle to concentrate on the task at hand. Help us to be ever mindful of the importance of giving our best efforts to every task set for us here in Cardinal Newman High School. Remind us that we are working hard to improve our chances for all our tomorrows.
The world is charged with the grandeur of God. (Gerard Manley Hopkins) I dwell for a moment on the Presence of God around me, in every part of my body, and deep within my being.

Almighty God, kindle, we pray, in every heart the true love of peace, and guide with your wisdom those who take counsel for the nations of the earth, that in tranquillity your dominion may increase until the earth is filled with the knowledge of your love; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

Thursday 31 March – 3pm and 7pm – Employability Drop-In.
Today we have an amazing opportunity for parents and pupils to speak to major employers about careers and skills development. This joint venture with Bellshill Academy is an excellent way for our S2 and S3 to investigate and plan for their futures.
Click the link below to find out just some of the employers attending.
After a successful trip to the Arts and Crafts exhibition in the SECC earlier in the month, the S1 members of the group used skills they had learned to make ‘Decopatch’ Easter boxes which were then filled with chocolate eggs. The boxes were displayed in the library and attracted a lot of attention and positive comments.
Mrs Daly, Mr Crawford and Mrs Smith accompanied S3 Geography pupils to Dynamic Earth today. The pupils were able to find out information about the earth in general and environmental features and problems.
Congratulations to the senior girls netball team who just beat the teachers 13-12 last night in a hard fought but enjoyable game. This photo shows the pupils plotting ways to stop Mrs McGhee from scoring.
Parents and pupils in S2/S3 are invited to ‘drop-in’ between 3.00pm and 7.00pm to a joint school event with Bellshill Academy to be held in Cardinal Newman High School on Thursday, 31 March 2016 to find out more about developing employability skills in our students.
The event is being organised in partnership with Skills Development Scotland, Community Learning and Development, North Lanarkshire’s Working, Routes to Work and Job Centre Plus
There will be a ‘market place’ with various business information stands, local colleges, universities, training providers, former and current students and planned workshops running in break-out rooms which parents and their children can book on to when they arrive at the school. Workshops include – Finance Matters, Skills Development Scotland (MyWorldofWork) and interview techniques.
This is a fantastic opportunity for S2/S3 students as all the information you need to know about careers and relevant qualifications will be made available to you.
For more information, speak to Mrs O’Keane or Mr Conaghan.
Loving Provider, you gather me in this upper room with your son, to be fed by your love. At that supper, Jesus told us to “love one another” and I know that is the heart of his gift, his sacrifice for me. I ask that I might find the source of my own heart, the meaning for my own life, in that Eucharist. Guide me to the fullness of your love and life.
