12-Day Zambia Trip

Good luck to Taylor High Sixth Year students Olivia Brennan, Caitlin Mullen, Dionne Neilson, Niamh Provan and Erin Toolan who left for Zambia yesterday as part of a larger group of young people from both Taylor High School and St. Mungo’s Academy, Glasgow.  The students involved in the trip will be volunteering at a school and orphanage in Zambia supported by Missio Scotland. A massive donation of over £7,000 has been raised to support the trip. This is money which has been raised over the course of the past year. The trip has a 12-day duration. Very well done to all involved and huge thanks to Sister Stacey Cameron of Missio Scotland for providing this opportunity. Thanks also to all those individuals and companies who supported the fundraising activities over the past year.

Paris – The Culinary & Cultural Experience June 2018

Staff and pupils left yesterday on the long awaited excursion to Paris. Forty S3 and S4 pupils, along with four members of staff led by Mr. Scott Russell, are set to explore the Opal Coast and Paris from 17th to 22nd June. Pupils will get the opportunity to sample some French cuisine throughout the trip. They will visit a goats’ cheese farm, a biscuit factory and a French boulangerie. Back in Paris, the group will be taking selfies at L’Arc de Triomphe, walking along Les Champs-Élysées with ice cream, taking a cruise on the river Seine, indulging in chocolate making at a chocolate workshop & museum. The high point of this trip will be visiting the Eiffel Tower and the Tour Montparnasse! To top it all off, pupils will spend a whole day at Disneyland.
