Following an idea dropped into our Pupil Voice Suggestion Box, one of our recent Smart School Council projects was the opportunity for Cathedral learners to design a mascot for their House. The most popular animal submitted for each House was chosen as the winner and all six have now been transformed into real-life mascots, complete with their own Cathedral t-shirt.
Carey Crocodile, Douglas Dinosaur, Thomson Tiger, Devine Dragon, Gilmour Gorilla and Scanlan Squirrel now have pride of place in our trophy cabinet at the main entrance.

Primary 1 learners and their Primary 7 buddies got together on World Book Day to enjoy ‘The Cat in the Hat’ by Dr Seuss. Our learners, from opposite ends of the school, enjoyed listening to the story together and then teamed-up to make fantastic hats of their own (see below).
“I know some good games we could play,” said the cat. “I know some good tricks,” said the Cat in the Hat.

Three members of St Bernadette’s parish Legion 
of Mary visited Cathedral Primary on Thursday 6th March to pray the rosary with Primary 4 learners. The children meditated on the Mysteries of Light during their time of prayer:
Our Primary 4 learners also heard about the long-standing tradition here at Cathedral of the Legion of Mary giving a small gift to each Primary 4 pupil in the month of May, when many of them receive their First Holy Communion.

The latest artwork to appear in Cathedral GOMA (Gallery Of Magnificent Art) online exhibition comes from Primary 4b.
Our Primary 4 learners’ beautiful hearts, made up of dozens of figures standing holding hands, were created using pencil and felt pen and gave our young artists the opportunity to explore perspective. Absolutely beautiful in their simplicity and attention to detail!
Keep watching this space for more masterpieces from Cathedral’s talented artists.

Cathedral school community gathered for Mass on Ash Wednesday, 5th March, to mark the beginning of Lent. Pupils and staff received their ashes, a
sign of being sorry for the wrong things we do and of our commitment to grow closer to Jesus in the coming weeks.
Lent isn’t just about giving things up but, more importantly, doing something extra to deepen our faith and grow closer to God. To help us on our Lenten journey, Fr Lamb will celebrate Mass in the gym hall at 8.15am every Tuesday and Friday morning, beginning on Friday 7th March.
A warm welcome is extended to all pupils, parents, staff and parishioners.

The latest artwork to appear in Cathedral GOMA (Gallery Of Magnificent Art) online exhibition comes from Primary 3b.
Our Primary 3 learners’ characterful cats were inspired by the work of artist Laurel Burch and were created using pencil line and watercolours before being cut out and mounted on card. Truly fantastic felines!

One of the daily pleasures of learning and working in Cathedral Primary School is being surrounded by beautiful artwork. Over the next few weeks,
we want to share some of our talented learners’ masterpieces with newsfeed readers.
GOMA stands for the Gallery Of Modern Art, located in Glasgow’s Royal Exchange Square. Cathedral’s online art exhibition is also called GOMA: Gallery Of Magnificent Art!
The first artwork to appear in our GOMA exhibition is from Primary 5b. Their striking space-themed art features galaxies created using a clever combination of chalk pastels and flecks of white paint. They’re out of this world!

As a Catholic school, Lenten almsgiving is an important part of the faith life of Cathedral Primary. However, we also recognise that there is a cost of living crisis and many families are struggling financially. Although we have planned our usual programme of fun activities to raise money for charity during Lent, no family should feel under any pressure whatsoever to make a donation each week. Please only give what you can.
This year’s programme of events, which we have planned and co-ordinated with our friends from Firpark and Clydeview, can be accessed via the link below:
