Our Lady’s High School Christmas Card

Our Lady’s High School Christmas Card 2016 was beautifully designed by Dominika Janiak S6 using acrylic paint and coloured pencils. This lovely card was sent to our local parishes, neighbouring schools and others in the local community. We are very grateful to Dominika for all her hard work and to the Art Department for all their support.

Christmas Jumper Day

On Friday 16 December, pupils and staff of Our Lady’s took part in a Christmas themed non-uniform day to raise money for our Advent charities.

We raised nearly £700 from this activity which is a fantastic amount of money. Well done to all who participated!

Christmas Parcels

During the month of December all RE classes at Our Lady’s were asked to make a hamper of treats to be delivered to the elderly and needy residents of Cumbernauld.

The young people and their families managed to collect enough food to make up almost 60 hampers. A phenomenal achievement!

The boxes were delivered to the local parishes in the last week of term to be distributed in time for Christmas. A huge thank you to all pupils and parents for their generosity to the hamper appeal.

Pensioners’ Christmas Lunch

On Tuesday 20 December the students of Our Lady’s hosted a party for 50 elderly parishioners from our local parishes as well as the Church of Scotland and St Mary’s Episcopalian Church. The VIP guests were treated to a Christmas dinner and a Nativity play.

Thanks go to S6 Personal Development classes for preparing the hall, Mrs Dunbar and the S1 pupils for their hard work in preparing the Nativity and to the Dining staff for the beautiful lunch. A wonderful time was had by all!

Nativity Performance

Well done to Mrs Dunbar and Miss McLean who organised our Christmas Nativity Performance which involved pupils from S1 – S6.

This fantastic activity was performed for our visitors at the Pensioners’ Christmas Lunch and on the last day.
