A group of senior pupils is running a fundraising Race Night, in aid of Comfort Rwanda and Congo, on Thursday 24th March, at 7.00 p.m., in the school. Tickets are now on sale, priced £5.00, and can be obtained from Reception. We would also be very grateful to receive raffle prizes.
We were, once again, delighted to host the annual Rotary Club Young Technologist competition. There was a great turnout of teams from all over Lanarkshire and each one had to work on a bridge design. The winners of the junior competition were from St Maurice’s High School, the team from Cumbernauld Academy won the intermediate category and Kilsyth Academy, represented by Angus Buck, Calum Baird, Josh Wood and Dara Brown, were the winners in the senior event. Well done!
All pupils have been issued with a copy of the Head Teacher’s Newsletter, which contains information about a number of school events and about the forthcoming SQA examinations.
The inter-House football tournament, for S1/2, took place last week. The teams all played very well but the tournament was won convincingly by Antonine House, with Colzium in second place, Balmalloch third and Dumbreck fourth. Well done to everyone who participated.
The North Lanarkshire Cross Country championships were held last week, at Airdrie Sports Centre. All the runners performed well and the S1 boys’ team finished in third place. Congratulations on winning bronze medals!
Pupils studying Higher Geography took part in a field trip last week, as part of their SQA assignment. The group looked at urban land use is and around the city of Glasgow and this will now form the basis of their write-ups back in class.
The school will be closed on Friday 25th and Monday 28th March, which is Easter weekend. We will then close on Friday 1st April, for the two-week holiday, and re-open on Monday 18th April.
