S6 Advanced Higher Chemistry pupils recently attended Forth Valley College to complete an SQA Unit in Instrumental Chemical Analysis. The two-day visit gave pupils the opportunity to gain experience of important techniques widely used in Chemistry such as spectroscopy, melting point determination and gas chromatography.
We are beginning to use a new communication tool called Groupcall. This allows the school to use texts, emails and an app called Xpressions to aid communication with parents.
Parents can easily download the free Xpressions app to their mobile phone to begin receiving updates. We intend to use the app to communicate any school information during extreme winter weather.
Our Lady’s will also send information by email to parents. Please contact the school office to update any email addresses.
The response to our appeal to help others at Christmas has been fantastic. We are now distributing the donations to The Wayside Club in Glasgow, our Parishes in Cumbernauld/Stepps/Muirhead and the Food Bank in Cumbernauld.
A huge thank you!
