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.

Pupils should speak to their subject teachers for more information and to sign up to study sessions.
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 fo

Loving Provi
der, 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.
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.
My saviour, do you invite me to share in the glory of the resurrection? Please stay with me as I struggle to see how accepting the crosses of my life will free me from the power of the one who wants only to destroy my love and trust in you. Help me to be humble and accepting like your son, Jesus. I want to turn to you with the same trust he had in your love. Save me, Lord. Only you can save me.
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 very interesting and informative day for our 9 XL students.
Jim Stirk from Animation Jam came in to film our Zombie Apocalypse Movie for our Arts and Employability project.
The Arts and Crafts group spent a fabulous day at the SECC this month. Knitting, sewing and patchwork quilting workshops were just some of the activities on offer. Demi Monteith was chosen to model an authentic and very expensive Kimono.
Thank you to everyone whose continued support makes it possible for the Mary’s Meals Group to fill and send back packs all year round. Keep donating your pennies.
God of such unwavering love, how do I “celebrate” the passion and death of Jesus? I often want to look the other way and not watch, not stay with Jesus in his suffering. Give me the strength to see his love with honesty and compassion and to feel deeply your own forgiveness and mercy for me. Help me to understand how to “celebrate” this week. I want be able to brin
g my weaknesses and imperfections with me as I journey with Jesus this week, so aware of his love.
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
God, as we walk through Holy week toward the cross,
May we remember the wonder of who you are.
Beyond sin your love is inexhaustible,
Beyond betrayal your grace is poured out eternally,
Beyond death your life is unimaginable.
Beyond human understanding,
Your ways are always higher than ours.
School Prayer
Lord, I thank you for bringing me to another day.
I live it completely for You,
Through you,
With You and in you. Amen
Blessed John Henry Newman, Pray for Us.
“What are the benefits of being European for a young Scottish person?” That was the main topic of this competition set by the Scottish European Educational Trust (SEET) aimed to young students from all around Scotland.
A group of four S3 pupils from Cardinal Newman High School, Holly McIntyre, Louise McCann, Jennifer Wardale and Kelsey Wilson, passed the preliminary phases of this competition, hence getting the opportunity to go to a Day Workshop in Glasgow, on Monday the 14th of March.
Holly, Louise, Jennifer and Kelsey had been working on their idea, storyboard and script for some time, and it was with high excitement that on Monday 14 they attended the Workshop, in the Society M, Renfield st. Only later during the day, they admitted being surprised about the little amount of groups that were finalists with them!
During the morning, there were some basic introductions by the project coordinator, and a short speech of two young European women from Xchange Scotland, who talked about some exciting opportunities volunteering around Europe. After that, a media professional from Glo Scotland gave the pupils some key advices on filming and editing.
The rest of the day was occupied by the girls with the filming and editing of their short film. It was an enjoyable and challenging experience all together, and the girls themselves confessed at the end of it, that they were pleased about their work, although they struggled a bit and were a bit worried at first about not being able to film and edit everything in time.
It was a stimulating and interesting experience all together, and all four, Holly, Louise, Jennifer and Kelsey are excited about attending the Premiere and Award Ceremony which will take place on Monday the 21st of March. They are looking forward to seeing all the finished films and finding out who the winners are.
God of today, of yesterday and tomorrow,
We are your people, created in your image.
In our diversity we have strength;
in our shared humanity a common hope,
a vision of life unbound by time.
We have come together to celebrate,
to reflect and to recommit ourselves to your work.
Shake us out of our complacency, rock our comfortable certainties
And challenge us to recognise the face of Christ in the eyes of our neighbour.
May our hearts be open to the challenge of your call to true freedom,
Our minds and hands ready to grasp the opportunity for change.
Inspire us with your message, open us to the joy of your word,
And guide us to the heart of truth, today and always. Amen.
School Prayer
Lord, I thank you for bringing me to another day.
I live it completely for You,
Through you,
With You and in you. Amen
Blessed John Henry Newman, Pray for Us.
