Christmas Parcels

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.

S5/6 pupils danced the night away on Wednesday 21 December at their Christmas Ceilidh. On arrival they walked along a red carpet to the sound of bagpipes and then enjoyed a whole evening with a live ceilidh band.

Many thanks to Ms Sharkey and her Ceilidh Committee who organised the whole event and also thanks to Mrs Varty from the Home Economics department who provided a wonderful buffet.

As you can see from the photographs, the pupils had a fantastic time!

S1 Cake Decorating Club

S1 Cake Decorating Club

After the recent success of this year’s Great British Bake Off, Our Lady’s High School budding bakers showed off their skills during a six week S1 lunch club.

This was a great success and helped pupils to develop their skills in practical cake craft, independent and collaborative learning. Through persevering and showing their resilience all pupils created festive cakes of excellent quality that were taken home as a centrepiece for the Christmas dinner table.
