Young people in S4, S5 and S6 who are considering applying for healthcare related subjects at university such as medicine and nursing should attend the following free webinar 'An Introduction to Evidence-Based Health Care' on Tuesday 20 and Wednesday 28 September.

At St Andrew’s Secondary School, student leaders and ambassadors work in service of our school community with the aim of positively contributing to the formation of all young people. Student leaders are encouraged to be courageous leaders who are authentic, service oriented, inclusive and hope-filled. Leadership is exercised in all areas of our school life. It is important, therefore, that we offer opportunities for all young people to develop their leadership skills.

S6 have attended a UCAS information session at assembly and should be making a start on their research and applications. PSHE will focus on personal statements this term, to support young people to meet their application deadline.

Further information on a UCAS Exhibition at the SEC, and Parents' Information Evening will be shared in due course.

Letters have been issued to S1 today regarding our S1 Mass of Welcome on Thursday 1 September at 7pm. We would be delighted if S1 pupils and their families were able to join us to celebrate Holy Mass and enjoy some refreshments afterwards. Please return tear off slip by Friday 26 August.
