We have been at school now for almost 2 weeks already and it feels like we have never been away. I hope everyone enjoyed a good break over Christmas and New Year.
The focus since we came back has very much been on settling back into a work routine especially for our S5/6 pupils who are preparing for their prelim exams next week. The timetable for the exams is available on our website by following this link:

We have have had some adverse weather conditions recently and we would plan to update our school twitter as much as much possible to keep you informed of any developments. However, North Lanarkshire has a dedicated page for updates that you can follow (https://www.northlanarkshire.gov.uk/index.aspx?articleid=20199) as well as a Twitter account (@nlcwinter) that will keep you informed. Thanks to all the staff, pupils and their parents who have made a great effort to get into school in some very difficult circumstances for many.
Our departments continue to use their twitter accounts to keep you abreast of the great work that is going on in the school and I would recommend you follow these to see what is happening. I have listed these below:
