OLHS Mission: Growing together, achieving together with Christ at our centre<\/em><\/p>\n

Our UCAS Information evening took place for parents of S5\/6 pupils looking to apply for University entry in September 2020. Mr McVeagh led the evening, which was to give information on the process in the school and key information about the application process and expectations of, for example, a personal statement.<\/p>\n

\nOur Feast Day is now celebrated around the time of Our Lady\u2019s Birthday (8th September). Therefore, all the pupils were off timetable last Friday to mark this wonderful occasion. It started off with a lesson and this was then followed by Mass celebrated by Bishop Toal and concelebrated by some of our local priests. We were also joined by a number of invited guests. In the afternoon S1 enjoyed activities in the PE department and there was a film or a Talent Show for the other pupils. It was a great day and my thanks goes to those staff and pupils who helped organise the various events throughout the day.<\/p>\n

\nAs part of the authority\u2019s Read to Succeed initiative we were delighted to welcome author Philip aveney (aka Danny Weston) to the school to speak with the S1 pupils.\u00a0 Pupils had a great afternoon and were all keen to get an autograph afterwards.<\/p>\n

\nAnother great event in the school\u2019s calendar took place with the Senior Awards Ceremony. This is a lovely event to celebrate the successes of last year\u2019s S4\/5\/6 pupils. We were delighted to welcome former pupil Rosemary Guinnane QC as our guest speaker and thank her for coming along to speak to our young people and present the awards.<\/p>\n

I would like to draw your attention to the National Parent Gathering on Saturday 21st September 2019. This event is the only national event for parents with children in Catholic schools and aims to support them as the first educators of their children. The day will include activities for children, so that child care is not an obstacle to attending. The event will take place from 9.30-3pm in St Francis Xavier Primary School in Falkirk. Lunch will be provided. Places are free but need to be booked by phoning 0141 556 4727.<\/p>\n
