The school’s new entrance area has now had the icon of Jesus Our Teacher installed within a map of Scotland in a prominent position in the new visitor entrance area. The icon celebrates 100 years of Catholic Education within public sector provision since the 1918 Education Act saw Catholic schools taken into the public sector in a bold move by the then representatives of both Church and State.

 

The map of Scotland was created by Robert Stewart, Senior Technician, supported by the school’s other technicians and features embedded sections of the school’s original copper roof, now replaced as part of a significant and welcome external refurbishment of the building by North Lanarkshire Council.
