A week of work on Remembrance Day culminated with a visit to Glasgow’s George Square for the Red Group Today.  Some of the group travelled to Glasgow by bus and some by train, meeting in George Square to lay a specially designed wreath they had been making throughout the week.  At the Square they were welcomed by Stuart, a soldier of the Scots Guards, who thanked them for  their wreath and answered some of the questions they had for him.  When they returned to school they told everyone about their day and the work they had been doing.  What great representatives they are for the school!

We had a great turn out of assorted ghouls, ghosts and monsters at our Halloween party on Tuesday!  Pupils and staff alike put in a fantastic effort and the afternoon was great fun!

We have been passed the above information from Active Schools to share with all our young people.  There are some great inclusive sport activities to get involved in.

This week we launched our lunchtime sports club for all pupils.  The club is being led by Hannah S, John and Tracey and after the first session it is safe to say it is a big hit with staff and pupils alike.  Also helping out at the club are staff and pupils from OLHS so it is a great opportunity for inclusion for pupils and staff.  Our first session focussed on Football and Basketball and as you can see from the pictures it was a really active and inclusive session with nearly the whole school taking part!  Well done to all involved!

Our Halloween party is on Tuesday afternoon so please remember to bring in your costumes to change in to!

We are excited to let you know about our new Lunchtime Sports Clubs which we will be launching after the October break. We will be running these in conjunction with some of the staff and pupils from Our Lady’s High School as part of our inclusion programme.

…….

Please remember we are closed for our October break from 3.30 pm on Friday 13th October and will reopen to staff and pupils at 9.00 am on Monday 23rd.  We hope you all have a great break!

Please remember that our family Karaoke night is taking place in the Davie Cooper Suite at Firpark Stadium from 7 pm until 10 pm on Friday 6th October.  It is a great night so please do come along and invite as many friends and family as you want!  Tickets are available on the door on the night or in advance from the school office priced £3 each or £10 for a group of 4.

We would also be very grateful to receive any donations for the raffle on the night so if you have any please hand in to the school office, thank you in advance!
