Easter Greetings Dear Parent/Carer Easter Newsletter March 2014 Easter Greetings Dear Parent/Carer The daffodils, the lighter nights and the freezing temperatures can only mean one thing – it must be the Easter holidays! Staff and students alike always look forward to this break – staff anticipate time to re-charge their batteries after a long term and students, particularly those in S4 – S6, look forward to having more time to study, as they prepare for national examinations! To help them in their studies we will, as we normally do, offer Supported Study in school during the Easter holiday (see programme attached to Newsletter) and I would encourage S4 – S6 to make as much use of this as possible as it could make a real difference, even at this late stage. Revision support immediately prior to subject examinations will also be available and details of that will be distributed in the first week we return to school. This year will be the first experience of the new National Qualifications (replacing Standard Grade and Intermediate) for the young people of Scotland, and I must congratulate our S4 pupils on how hard they have worked this session, with confidence and a real sense of purpose. Only National 5 qualifications in S4 will be assessed through an SQA examination and this new arrangement is having significant impact on S4’s experience in the summer term. A separate letter outlining these arrangements has already been distributed to S4 – S6 pupils. If you have not already received one please contact the school office and a letter will be posted out to you. Although this term has been particularly busy with the first year of Senior Phase and starting to prepare for the next year, staff and pupils have found time to enjoy sporting moments, expeditions, trips out of school and other ways of learning which are outside the classroom. I am sure you will enjoy reading all about these events and perhaps wonder when did school become so enjoyable!? As we are now in the season of Lent staff and young people have had a range of opportunities to reflect on the words of Pope Francis in his Lenten Message: Lent is a fitting time for self-denial; we would do well to ask ourselves what we can give up in order to help and enrich others by our own poverty…... May the Holy Spirit, through whom we are "as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing everything" (2 Cor 6:10), sustain us in our resolutions and increase our concern and responsibility for human destitution, so that we can become merciful and act with mercy.” In addition to making personal sacrifices during Lent staff and pupils have been active in fund raising to support those who little or nothing . Charity football games, a long-established Lourdes tradition, an innovative wishing-well devised by a group of S6 pupils and a range of other activities are all combining to raise as much money as possible for SCIAF whose work supports many of the most vulnerable communities world-wide. Can I again thank parents for their support in ensuring our young people maintain high standards in our school uniform? Our young people are very much the school’s ambassadors in the wider community and high standards in uniform reflect very positively on them and on the school. Current indications are that the roll in S1 will be the biggest in recent years, significantly over 220. We are very much looking forward to welcoming our newest and youngest members of the community in May for their induction experience and then in August. Our new S1 pupils will be measured in their current primary school and their blazers will be delivered there. More details about these arrangements will be made available to you early in the new term. Term comes to an end on Friday 4th April and school will dismiss at 2.30 for the Easter Holiday. School resumes on Tuesday 22nd April. On behalf of the pupils and staff of Lourdes Secondary I would like to wish you a very happy and restful Easter. Best wishes Patricia Lennon Lourdes Secondary School 47 Kirriemuir Avenue Cardonald Glasgow Easter Newsletter G52 3DF March 2013 T: 0141 582 0180 F:0141 582 0181 W: www.lourdes-sec.glasgow.sch.uk Chaplaincy and Religious Education Our Lady of Lourdes Feast Day On Friday the 14th of February we celebrated our schools feast day, a few days later than normal due to school holidays. S1 and S6 pupils celebrated Mass with Father Walsh and invited guests and all other year groups participated in a service. This year we focussed on Lourdes being a place of faith and of great miracles. During his homily Father Walsh reflected upon the young age of Mary and Bernadette during their experience of God which led us to contemplate the idea of “Holy Teenagers,” we then asked ourselves how can we become closer to God? Our celebrations were a great success and we thank all those who participated. Catholic Education Week The theme for this year was taken from Pope Francis’ first encyclical letter, Lumen Fidei. The Scottish Catholic Education Service then selected “Shining the Light of Faith” for pupils, parents, staff and parishes to develop. The R.E. department created dedicated lessons for each year group, a special assembly was held and pupils were asked to complete a brief but important task during registration. On Education Sunday our Caritas pupils went along to our local parishes and spoke about their experiences this far. Lent Shrove Tuesday saw our first fundraiser in aid of SCIAF. Mrs Cullen and some S6 pupils flipped hundreds of pancakes to sell during interval, this was a massive success and every last pancake was sold within minutes! Ash Wednesday was an opportunity for the year groups to come together to receive their ashes during services led by Father Walsh. Our Caritas pupils gave ashes to their fellow pupils which was a wonderful experience. During the Lenten season we have been encouraging our pupil and staff to deepen their relationship with God. Mass is celebrated on Tuesday and Thursdays in the oratory during lunch and we are encouraging our pupils to participate in charitable activities. All money raised during Lent is being donated to SCIAF. Fr. Walsh our School Chaplain We would like to extend our congratulations to Fr. Walsh. Fr. Walsh was recently appointed as Parish Priest of St, James the Great in Crookston. Fortunately for us Fr. Walsh will continue his chaplaincy role with us in Lourdes. We send our best wishes and look forward to continuing to see him in and about the school. S1 Gideons Visit On Friday the 28th of February S1 welcomed the Gideon’s society, each year the Gideon’s speak to S1 and give each pupil a copy of the New Testament to keep as their own. We would like to thank the Gideon’s for so kindly visiting us and taking time with our young pupils. Easter Newsletter March 2013 Decision Time Many of our senior pupils are gearing up to take part in the historic vote taking place on 18th September 2014 on the question of Scottish Independence. Some of our S6 Pupils recently took part in a Referendum Question Time event held at Glasgow City Chambers and organised by the Scottish Youth Parliament. The lively event was chaired by the chairperson of the Glasgow Speaker’s Club, with young representatives from the YES campaign and Better Together campaign answering a range of topical questions from pupils from across Glasgow. Francesca Woulfe, Corrie Innes, Nathan Kavanagh, Sean Scroggie and Catriona McCallum from S6 represented Lourdes Secondary and put some excellent questions to the panel ranging from the role of the BBC in an independent Scotland to questions on currency issues. All five pupils said the event had helped inform their decision on how they will vote. If you are 16 have you decided and registered? Whether you vote Yes or No make sure you register by finding all the information you need at Aboutmyvote.co.uk or through the Scottish Youth Parliament website. Journalistic Talent I was selected amongst a group of 9 senior students to attend an event at Guildhall hosted by News Academy which involved a Q & A with Alex Salmond and various talks and presentations from members of The Sun Newspaper about the media, which gave us an insight into the daily life of a journalist and the sort of things that the profession entails. The Q & A with the First Minister was the first event in which we participated, where many interesting aspects regarding independence were highlighted and discussed. Salmond and the panel gave reasonable and persuasive arguments to support the ‘yes’ vote in the upcoming independence referendum in September. The rest of the day consisted of talks by professionals from different departments of The Sun including Gordon Smart, a Journalist and editor, and Andy Devlin, a sports writer. They spoke of their own personal experiences in journalism and the many opportunities it offers, an aspect of journalism which they all shared as a favourite was the idea that every day was different and unpredictable. The on-going advancement of technology and its influence was touched upon a number of times in the final debate which was useful for the younger generations to discuss as they would be affected by this in the future if they chose to go down this particular career path. The whole event was very beneficial for those who have already considered a career in journalism and those who are unsure, because the journalists we encountered were enthusiastic and excited at the number of young people showing interest, and gave great advice and information about the role.

  • WHAN Publication Final Printer
    The Working in Health Access Network Interim Report and Discussion Paper January 2009 Foreword The Working in Health Access Network (WHAN) exists to increase interest in a career in health amongst school pupils. The focus of WHAN is to increase their aspirations and provide information concerning courses in healthcare in both universities and colleges - as well as introducing them to a wide range of exciting options for the future. The National Health Service (NHS) is the largest employer in the country and is central to the well being of the economy at large. At the heart of any strong and confident organisation is a knowledgeable, professional and motivated workforce. WHAN works directly with the next generation of health workers to ensure that the health sector is staffed by committed individuals with the skills required to help make Scotland a healthier, stronger, fairer, smarter and wealthier place in which to live, study and work. This report portrays the development of the WHAN network so far. It also raises questions and challenges for the future. As the current phase of WHAN continues until this July, the complete statistical analysis is not yet available. Nevertheless, there is considerable creativity, innovation and success in WHAN school and college activities. This report is an introduction to these activities; more detailed outcomes will be available from the middle of 2009. The project has forged a successful partnership. It grew out of the Working in Health Access Programme (WHAP) that was aimed particularly at medicine and veterinary medicine. The need to diversify to other health professions became apparent in order to fulfil the aspirations of young people, to provide realistic ambitions for them and, also, to be more cost effective.
