There’s barely a week goes by here at Cathedral without some sort of event for pupils, parents or both! 2024/25 Dates for your Diary and our August – December Family Learning programme can both be accessed via the links below. Please print these off or save them onto your device.
Our first event is a phonics workshop for our new Primary 1 parents which takes place at 9.15am on THURSDAY 22nd AUGUST. Meet the Teacher takes place a week later on Thursday 29th from 3.15 – 4.15pm.
We look forward to welcoming parents, carers, families, parishioners and friends throughout the coming year.
Cathedral staff will be working hard throughout Monday 12th and Tuesday 13th August to make final preparations for the start of the new school year. Primary 2 – 7 pupils will be welcomed back at 9.00am on Wednesday 14th August, with our 73 new Primary 1 learners starting at the slightly later time of 9.30am.
Come Clubbing @ Cathedral had a dramtic end of year finale on Tuesday 25th June when pupils took to the catwalk for an outstanding fashion show.
The talented bunch of pupils had worked with Audrey Reilly, Cathedral parent and fashion designer, over two months, starting with creating mood boards to help them design their own impressive creations. Pupils learned to size and measure their fabrics, sew by hand and use an electric sewing machine. Mrs Findlay, Cathedral’s Laudato Si coordinator, was particularly impressed by the children’s up-cycling to ensure sustainability.
To mark the end of their time in Cathedral 
Primary School, P7 pupils enjoyed an afternoon of fun together at their ‘C in the Park’ music festival on 24th June. A live DJ kept the beats going throughout the afternoon and the children had the opportunity to get their face painted, visit the tattoo parlour, grab a drink at the cocktail bar or just chill with their friends. A pizza delivery kept the children’s energy levels up before the event finished with a water fight!
Our August – December Family Learning programme has now been finalised. The first parent workshop, for Primary 1 parents and carers, will focus on phonics and literacy. This takes place on Thursday 22nd August, which is the first full week back, so it would be a good idea to pop the date in your diary this side of the holidays.
learning showcases, there will be a workshop for all P1 – 7 parents and carers on further developments to Cathedral’s Active8 approach. This will include the opportunity to see Active8 in action in your child’s classroom and join in with some of their learning. 
Information has now gone out to all parents and carers via Group Call to inform them of their child’s class and teacher for the new session. Mr Young’s accompanying letter can be accessed via the link below:
We are absolutely delighted to announce that, following Mrs Loose’s 10km run and Primary 7’s raffle and sponsored event, the final total (including Gift Aid) raised for ‘Braintrust’ is an incredible…
Primary 7 rounded off their final year of primary school with an entertaining Learning Showcase on Friday 21st June. They chose the theme of World War II and whisked their families and friends back to the 1940s to find out (amongst other things) about the start of the war, evacuation, propaganda and the blitz.
Primary 7 pupils, along with their families and teachers, gathered in Our Lady of Good Aid Cathedral on the evening of 17th June to celebrate their Leavers’ Mass and graduation. The music was led beautifully by Cathedral school choir, under the direction of Mr James Greechin and accompanied by Mr John Pitcathley on the organ. In his homily, Fr Lamb encouraged the children to love God and love others as they move into a new chapter of their lives.
