S1 SUMDOG October Winners

Congratulations to all the winners of our October Challenge. These pupils completed all 200 questions that were set on Sumdog last month.

Improvement in Maths and Numeracy is achieved through regular practice and Sumdog enables pupils to do this in a fun way. All S1 and S2 pupils have their own Sumdog login and can access it on computers, tablets and phones in school and at home. If your child has any difficulty accessing Sumdog, they should speak to their Maths class teacher or Mr Winning (Maths Department).

S1 Homework Time

Our school library is open for S1 who wish to do any homework during lunchtime every Tuesday and Thursday.

S1 have been making great use of this, working on all sorts of homework including accessing Sumdog practice.

Senior Mathematics Challenge

On 8 November, four of our senior pupils visited the University of the West of Scotland Paisley Campus to represent Our Lady’s in the UKMT Senior Mathematics Challenge.

Although we did not win a prize, the pupils involved (Ejiro Akpubi, Lucas Huggins (S5), David Hughes and Alexander Moffat (S6)) all had a great time and enjoyed the experience.

S4 Football Team

U16 boys football team won their Second Round Scottish Cup tie away to Bishopbriggs 5-4 (aet) on Wednesday 31 October. The boys showed real tenacity and team spirit coming from behind on more than one occasion. A fantastic result considering the game went to extra time and we only had 11 players. Congratulations to the boys on their fantastic performance and result. The scorers are:

Matthew Smith (2), Ross Hamilton, Aaron Welsh and Jamie Kinnear.

S1 Football Team

Congratulations to the S1 boys football team who have beaten Grangemouth High 4 – 1 in the second round of the Scottish Cup on Wednesday 24 October.

The boys played a great match and the goalscorers were Sam Smith x2, Luca Vata and Jack Devlin.

Trip to Celtic Park

On Saturday 20 October, pupils from Our Lady’s attended Celtic v Hibs Football Match at Celtic Park, as visitors of the KANO Foundation. The match was exciting and action packed throughout, with Celtic winning 4-2.

Pupils met Celtic player Kristoffer Ajar and got their KANO Foundation scarves signed.  Pupils thoroughly enjoyed the experience and were phenomenal, as usual.  An absolute credit to their families and the school.

New Bus Bay

We are delighted to announce that work will begin on our new school bus bay on Monday 15 October. The new bus bay will be created on Dowanfield Road and we look forward to its completion in 2019. During the construction phase there may be some disruption on Dowanfield Road, although our contractors will make every effort to keep this to a minimum. Please bear this in mind when dropping off or collecting your child.

Parents are reminded that it is not permitted to park /drop off pupils within the school grounds. No vehicles should enter through the gates at the old janitors house. This is extremely important to ensure the safety of our pupils.

S4 Football Team Success

A winning start to the season for the U16s boys’ football team. OLHS beat Caldervale High 4-2 in their first league game of the season.

Caldervale took a 2-0 lead with Sam Bryant pulling a goal back before half-time. A very dominant second half performance resulted in OLHS scoring 3 second half goals. A “game of two halves” you might say!

Congratulations to all the boys and especially Sam Bryant, Connor Coyle, Ross Hamilton and Matthew Smith who all hit the target.
