One of the school’s initiatives to support closing the attainment gap began on Wednesday 15^th January when our new Breakfast Club began. This club is open to all pupils from First Year to Sixth Year everyday from 8:15am to 8:45am. Pupils will be provided with toast, cereal, fruit juice and hot drinks, all free of charge. This club takes place in the newly designated Hub adjacent to the Modern Languages area of our Languages Faculty. Many thanks to Mr Kevin Savage, teacher of Physics, for organising this club and to all members of staff who have volunteered to help out each morning.

A Health and Wellbeing Workshop for Parents and Carers of all pupils will be held on Thursday 16th January 2020 at 4.15pm in the school theatre.

This workshop should last approximately 1 hour and will provide information on how to support all young people at all stages with a range of approaches to good mental health. A further key context will be to provide ideas as to how parents and carers can support their children’s learning in the months ahead.

A letter is being issued today to all parents and carers about this event. All those who can attend are urged to complete the tear-off slip and return it to the school office as soon as possible and no later than Wednesday 15th January. The meeting has alos been promoted via Twitter. The school Twitter account is @TaylorHS1982.

 

We wish all members of our school community a joyful and holy Christmas and a prosperous 2020!

The relics of Saint Therese of Lisieux arrived from France on the evening of Thursday 29th August 2019 and travelled in procession from St. Teresa’s Church, Newarthill to St. Francis Xavier Church, Carfin in procession.  Taylor High School pupils were prominent in this procession as bearers of the reliquary carrying the remains of Saint Therese, flag bearers in the procession and taking part in the procession.

The photographs below can give only a limited idea of what an amazing occasion this was both for the school and the wider communities of Newarthill and Carfin…..
