S3 Online Training

A group of S3 learners successfully completed a one day training course in ‘Be Strong Online’.  This event was hosted by the not-for-profit charity ‘The Diana Award’, and helped our young people to learn how to explore the digital world safely.

All of the S3 learners participated fantastically well all day and were rewarded with a certificate and the opportunity to take the programme forward in school.  Well done to Ben Atkin, Sam Bryant, Elise Congalton, Connor Coyle, Charlotte Diamond, Aedan Duffy, Charlotte Kenna, Daniel Kerr, Shannen Lofnes, Megan MacCrimmon, Josh McMullen, Gemma Templeton and Devlin Tomlinson who were an absolute credit to themselves and the school.

Fifteen of our S6 pupils undertaking their Caritas Award enjoyed a very comfortable and relaxing retreat on Monday night in the Conforti Institute, Coatbridge. They participated in reflections from Fr Patrick Duffy from the Xaverians and Fr John Campbell of Sacred Heart, Cumbernauld.

The group consisted of both Our Lady’s pupils and St Maurice’s pupils to allow opportunities to socialise and pray with others sharing the same faith journey through Caritas. All feedback has been positive and pupils have benefited from the memorable experience.
