Library

(b)
Closure The Library will be closed at lunchtime today, but open as normal periods 5 and 6.
Books Please remember to bring your own MyFife card to borrow books from the Library, you cannot use
someone else's card. If you lose your card arrange to get a replacement as soon as possible. Temporary
cards can be used in the interim.
Overdue reminders will be issued to Registration teachers this week. Please make an effort to return any
library books on time (or early!). It is unfair on your schoolmates to keep books longer than necessary.
S1/S3 School Photographs
The following pupils are asked to collect their photograph from the Main Office this morning:
Leona Robson 1M2
Casey-Louise Adams 1M2
Cameron Birrell 3M2

Halloween Disco
The Halloween Disco is tomorrow night and you still have an opportunity to purchase your ticket. They
are on sale during registration, at break and lunchtime in the Citizenshop (both today and tomorrow). You
must buy your ticket in advance of the disco (pay at the door is not available). We have a brilliant (very
scary!) Ghost Tour this year for £1 and the shop will be open throughout the night - see you there...

India Week 2012
Our Citizenship Week (19-23 November) this year continues to support our chosen SCIAF Project of APD
(Association of People with Disabilities) in Bangalore (India). We wrote (with the assistance of Cardinal
O'Brien) to Susan Boyle asking if she would like to visit us during this week - and unfortunately Susan is
touring America promoting her new album. She has sent us a nice letter (available to read on the
noticeboard in the foyer) and signed copies of her new album (which will be included in a draw). Watch
out for the planned activities for the week - including a return of Fr. Alex's 'Pea & Potato' curry and the
black APD wristbands and many other things.

Halloween is Here!
Which means it’s time for treats! Please try our cookies – they are really sweet and at ‘spooktacular
prices too. We will be in the foyer at break and lunchtime on Wednesday 31 October. Staff can also try
some treats in the staffroom then too.
