On 28th January 8 pupils from the Higher Business Management class attended a Business Master Class hosted by the East Renfrewshire Chamber of Commerce. The guest speaker was Graeme Lindsay, one of Scotland's leading marketing experts, with nearly 20 years of experience at companies such as Tennents, Scottish Courage and Glenmorangie. The pupils who attended were:
· Kathryn Murphy
· Rachel Murray
· Philip O’Hara
· Ceara McIntyre
· Sarah Marshall
· Chris McDonagh
· Amy Rowe
· Eilidh Dunn
It was a really interesting evening and hopefully gave some of the pupils a greater insight into one of the main units we study in Higher Business Management. For some, it may even impact on future career plans.


How we, pupils and staff, aspire to put into practice the vision we have for our young people and staff.
Each week in our school our pupils with the support of members of staff seek to live out the vision we have for our school community, developing their talents and offering service to others in our school.
Each week we are invited to put into practice the invite of Our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, to put the Gospel into action and be witnesses of faith, hope and goodness in our school community,
Examples abound of the witness of our pupils, staff and parents.
Remember Lent begins on Wednesday 17th February (Ash Wednesday) and Mass will be celebrated every morning at 8.25 a.m.
Please remember in your prayers this week all pupils, staff and parents, thanking God for the great school we have and the many blessings we have been given. Have a happy and relaxing holiday
