Class Masses<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Thanks to Fr Ness who has spent a great deal of time in the school celebrating Class Masses \u2013 13 Masses so far since we came back after the October break.\u00a0 This has been an enormous undertaking and we are grateful to Father for his commitment to the school.<\/p>\n

Assemblies<\/strong><\/p>\n

We are now in a position to start having assemblies again, albeit in half year groups.\u00a0 We took the opportunity to highlight some of the basics, eg. uniform, the use of mobile phones (which are not allowed out in school), behaviour in the community, etc\u2026\u00a0 It was great to have the chance to talk to the pupils in this forum again to get some messages over.<\/p>\n

Parents\u2019 Evenings<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

With the restrictions that are in place we are unable to have parents on-site for a Parents\u2019 Evening. We are working on setting up a virtual parents\u2019 evening for parents\/carers of S1 pupils, scheduled for Tuesday 23rd<\/sup> November.\u00a0 An email will be sent with instruction to set up appointments.\u00a0 If you have a new email address or have not been receiving emails from the school, please contact the school with up to date contact details at: enquiries-at-ourladyshigh@northlan.org.uk<\/a><\/p>\n

(Please note that all the school email addresses for staff and office changed in the summer. As a result any school email addresses that you may have, ending ‘\u2026@ourladyshigh.sch.uk’, are no longer in use).<\/em><\/p>\n

Drama Prelims<\/strong><\/p>\n

Prelims took place for Nat 5 and Higher pupils in Drama recently.\u00a0 I saw some of the practices and watched some of the performances \u2013 and was really impressed with the confidence of the pupils and standard of the work. Well done!<\/p>\n

Students<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We welcomed a number of student teachers in the school recently in Maths, English, Business, PE, Home Economics and Art.\u00a0 We wish them all the best in their placement and have no doubt they will<\/p>\n

Climate Change Conference<\/strong><\/p>\n

Prelims<\/strong><\/p>\n

Prelims for the S4 pupils are due to begin at the start of December. Mr McQuillan is working on the timetable for this and will get it out to pupils as soon as it is ready.<\/p>\n

Parking<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\u2713<\/p>\n

There have been complaints from local residents about cars being parked across driveways at the end of the school day as pupils are waiting to be picked up.\u00a0 Please be aware of where you are parking if picking up pupils.<\/p>\n
