All of our S6 pupils climbed the 28 stairs which can only be climbed on your knees. Climbing the holy stairs is an act of devotion. One that is performed with such silence and focus. It was a very humbling experience for all of us.

Our P7 pupils form St Patrick's Primary are in school today and working well. Great to see some pupils back in the school building. They are currently working on their literacy skills and will then be ready for a short break at 10.45am.

This message is slightly later than expected but well done to all pupils, staff, parents and carers for our first week of remote learning. We have had well over 82% engagement in this first week with a few teething problems for some pupils with technology, etc.
Concerning to see a number of our pupils in the local area yesterday not adhering to social distancing or household groups. EVERYONE must support Government advice to allow us all to return to normal and we hope parents will ensure their children are safe and secure at all times.
Our bake sale for teenage cancer trust has already raised a whopping £650 with more money to come in. Well done to the girls who organised the sale........
