The rescheduled Celebrating Success Ceremony for last year’s S3 – S6 students will now take place on Wednesday 24th October 2018 at 7pm in the school Games Hall. All award recipients have been sent new letters inviting parents/carers or other family members to attend this event which will cap the outstanding achievements of students during the course of last session.
We look forward to a big turnout of students and family members to give due recognition to the achievements of very many students in our school community.
The school’s Patron’s Day Mass takes place on Friday 5 October 2018 at 1.30pm. The date of the Mass is set close to the Feast of St. Therese of Lisieux.
The school also seeks to remember our patron, Mgr. Thomas Nimmo Taylor of Carfin Grotto on this date.
Fr. Gerry Chromy, first Chaplain to Taylor High School, and now Vicar General of Motherwell Diocese, will lead this celebration supported by Fr. Martin Delaney, School Chaplain, and local parish priests.
This Mass is the biggest event in our liturgical calendar and is very significant to the whole Taylor community. It allows everyone to spend time together. As this is an important event, every pupil, regardless of their faith, is expected to attend the Mass and treat it with the utmost respect. I ask for you support in ensuring full pupil attendance at the Mass and, to that end, no pupil will be granted permission for routine appointments on Friday 5th October.
The Mass will end at 2.55pm and pupils will be dismissed at the normal time.
The annual Patron’s Day Mass will be celebrated on Friday 5th October 2018 at 1.30pm. This Mass is held in honour of the school’s Patron, Monsignor Thomas Nimmo Taylor, and is also held adjacent to the Feast of St Therese of Lisieux, The ‘Little Flower’. Canon Taylor had a great devotion to St. Therese which is why the school has a rose on our school badge and the school motto is in French – ‘Que tout soit pour Dieu’ – ‘May All Things Be For God’.
All staff and pupils will attend this major event. Priests associated with the school, staff and pupil representatives from our associated primary schools and other invited guests will also be present to make this an occasion to remember.
Taylor High Staff and Pupils at the recent St. Andrew’s Hospice 6K Run at Strathclyde Park on Sunday 16th September.
A UCAS information meeting will be held in the school theatre on Thursday 27th September 2018 from 7 – 8pm. A representative of the Students’ Awards Agency Scotland (SAAS) will be present at this meeting to provide information for parents/carers and students on the finance options available for students who enter Higher Education in 2019.
In addition a presentation by Mr. McQuaid, Acting Depute Head Teacher, will provide a wide range of information on this year’s application process for Higher Education through the UCAS Apply system.
All parents/carers of students applying to enter Higher Education this year are advised to attend.
In light of the amber weather warnings received today and ongoing uncertainty over the precise duration of the current windy weather, the decision has been taken, with great regret, to cancel tonight’s Celebrating Success ceremony for last session’s S3-S6 pupil cohort.
I am aware this is a very disappointing outcome but Health and safety considerations must take priority.
Information about new arrangements for this event will be issued as soon as possible.
