On Thursday 28 April S6 students came together to celebrate the end of thirteen years of schooling. There were tears and laughter as the young people reminisced about their time in Our Lady’s High School.
The day started with an Awards’ Ceremony followed by a coffee morning for staff and S6 pupils. Father McKay and Father Campbell concelebrated a beautiful Mass and the day ended with an afternoon at the bowling.
We look forward to seeing our S6 at the Prom on 10 June.

Nearly 200 of our senior pupils attended Easter School from Monday 4 April to Wednesday 6 April to help them prepare for their SQA exams.
Many subjects offered tutorial sessions including mathematics, biology, chemistry, art, modern languages and social subjects.
We are confident that the support our young people had from this, as well as Study Weekend and Saturday Study days will pay dividends in the final exam.
The Our Lady’s community recently came together to pray for the success of our young people who will shortly be sitting SQA exams. Father McKay celebrated Mass in the school for S4 and S5 students who will be sitting SQA exams shortly.
The music for the Masses, led by Miss Blain and Miss McLean of the music department was very uplifting. Pupils were issued with the schools exam prayer and Father McKay encouraged them to visit the school oratory during exam leave. Thanks go to everyone involved in preparing for these Masses.
