The annual Memorial Mass took place on Friday 24th<\/sup> November and was attended by a number of family members of ex Our Lady\u2019s pupils who lost their lives in the war.\u00a0 Thanks to our school captains Rebecca and Erin who read the Roll of Honour on the evening.<\/p>\n

Our first Numeracy Evening for parents of S1 pupils took place recently.\u00a0 If parents are going to be in a position to help with homework they will sometimes need a bit of support in doing so.\u00a0 The way I was taught Maths\/Numeracy (many years ago now!) is not the way that I actually taught Maths over the years, showing pupils how to tackle particular topics.\u00a0 As long as there is a consistent approach from school and home we can help improve the Numeracy levels of our young people.\u00a0 There are 2 more evenings planned over the year \u2013 keep an eye out for the next one. Thanks to the Maths department for organising and running this event.<\/p>\n

Fr Martin delivered our Advent assemblies recently.\u00a0 Always a busy time of the year, it is always good to stand back, take stock and remember what this time of the year is all about.<\/p>\n

The Technical department recently made a visit to the Forth Crossing with a group of senior pupils.\u00a0 They had a great time and learned about the many different opportunities that are available in engineering.<\/p>\n
