As part of our P7 Transition Project our six primary schools joined us here in Our Lady’s High on Wednesday 20 June for a showcase event. The theme of the Transition Project focused on safe use of social media.

The six schools worked closely together to research, work co- operatively and share information about keeping safe online. Across the cluster pupils produced a Podcast, Website and TV advert! Well done to all involved!

Trip to the Falkirk Wheel and the Kelpies

Trip to the Falkirk Wheel and the Kelpies

The S3 Personal Development class recently enjoyed a very successful trip to the Falkirk Wheel and The Kelpies.

The pupils enjoyed the boat ride at the Falkirk Wheel which lifted the boat up 35m in the air from the Forth and Clyde Canal to join the Union Canal for a short time, before returning back down again. The journey was accompanied with a commentary telling you the history of the Falkirk Wheel and the surrounding area.

After this adventure, we made our way to the Kelpies, where we were given a guided tour which took us inside Duke, one of the Kelpies. We also learned how Arria “The Angel of the Nauld” was designed by the same Glaswegian sculptor Andy Scott. Then we had fun in the Adventure Park before heading back to school. Everyone had a great day on a unique and highly memorable trip.
