- Faith
A group of our S6 students attended the Annual Vocations Mass at Motherwell Cathedral on Monday the 26th with Mr Cluckie & Mr Cassidy. On Friday the 30th Aiva Martin S5 & Aoife Kelly S6 represented the school at the Mass and Procession to welcome the Relics of St Thérèse of Lisieux to Carfin Grotto.
- St Andrew’s Hospice
Thanks to Margaret from the St Andrew’s Hospice team who came out to speak to our S5 & S6 students ahead of the annual 6K fundraising run. The Hospice does incredible work & requires £88,000 a week to provide the valuable care needed for its patients. Any student (aged 14 or above) who is interested in participating at the 6K run on Sunday the 15th of September should give their name to Miss Barr in PE.
- Go MTB
Two groups of our S4 students have begun studying a mountain biking course as part of an alternate curriculum initiative. The initiative is being run in conjunction with Velo Scotland with a focus on gaining additional qualifications and developing core life skills in relation to the ever increasing cycling industry and future job opportunities. Students will utilise the new school mountain bikes as well as visiting the Endura Lifecycle Trust facility in Stirlingshire. Thanks to Mr Shaw (PT PEF) for organising this opportunity for the students.
