Easter School

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.

Exam Masses

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.

Lenten Charities to support Malawi and HCPT

HCPT

Every year, two or three pupils from S6 get the opportunity to go to Lourdes with the HCPT Pilgrimage Trust which offers pilgrimage holidays for disabled and disadvantaged people from around the UK.

This year Rachel Curran, Greg Ferguson and Jennifer Noble have been selected and they are looking forward to this opportunity.

Malawi

9 Pupils from OLHS will be visiting our partner school St. John Bosco in Malawi from the 9th-22nd June. This is a great opportunity to see how the water project has progressed and the impact it has had on both the school and the community in Katete.

Fundraising is well under way for this years trip, in particular we will be looking for donations of stationary and baby clothes (old or new) so that we can donate these to the primary schools and the maternity ward of the community hospital.

These can be handed in to any of the pupils going on the trip Grace Carey, Toni De Pellette, Erin Docherty, Lewis Duncanson, Rebekah Dunese, Ross Gordon, Ada Malinowska, Ryan McTurk, Kieran Millar or directly to Mrs Forrester.
