Our House names reflect changes made in the summer of 2022, when staff and young people pupils voted for their preferred names from a list of shrines associated with Our Lady.
The main role of Pupil Support staff is to provide each pupil with help to make decisions on the personal, educational, or careers matters that affect them and generally to provide a source of security and encouragement.
Further information is available in the Our Lady’s High School Handbook.
Pupil Support staff, who are also subject teachers in their own right, monitor and record a pupil’s progress and develop contacts with the home, other members of staff and with agencies such as the Educational Psychologist, the School Medical Service, the Social Work Department and Skills Development Scotland. They conduct individual interviews, house assemblies, social functions and write references for employers.
They also hold parental interviews and, for parents wishing personal contact with the school, the first step should always be through the appropriate Pupil Support teacher with whom an appointment can be made by telephone or letter. Parents should avoid coming up to school without an appointment, as a long wait might prove necessary if the Pupil Support teacher is in class.
Further information is available in the Our Lady’s High School Handbook.
