6th year style
Our Lady’s celebrated St Andrew’s Day in style with piper, saltires, kilts and tartan all over the place.
Andrew House held various fundraising ventures, including selling tartan ribbons, organising Tartan Day, and general tin rattling in aid of St Andrew’s Hospice. Staff enjoyed a St Andrew’s coffee morning on the 28th, and got stuck into shortbread, smoked salmon, oatcakes and dumpling. Many thanks to Mrs Isobel Evans for all her help.
Piper and Dancer
Mr Jim Hughes provided wonderful piping throughout the morning, much to the delight of the pupils flocking round him. Mr Hughes also provided music for three 6th year pupils, Shelby Gilfillan, Natalie Curran and Cheryl O’Connor, who volunteered to dance a beautiful Highland Fling.
The total raised from all events so far is £365, which will be donated to St Andrew’s Hospice.

£2527.92!!!!!
That is absolutely brilliant!
Huge, stupendous congratulations to everyone involved, whether you helped to organise the various events, donated prizes, took part or came to watch.
The recipients will be announced in the near future (once they’ve been decided!)

1st and 3rd year RE classes were remarkably quiet as they took part in sponsored silences to raise funds for Lenten Charities.
Many congratulations to Nicholas Divers, 3A2, who single handedly raised £60!!!!
Andrew House had aimed at raising £200 but has far exceeded that figure.

The Andrew House Fugitive was apprehended shortly after period 2 this morning.
Excitement was high across the school, with at least one innocent member of staff asked on 72 separate occasions if she was the guilty one, and 6th years pursued by determined 1st years (honest!)
Pupils paid £1 and received a sticker saying, “I’m searching for the Andrew House Fugitive” and followed clues left throughout the morning. The first clue “The Fugitive comes to Our Lady’s everyday” managed to dramatically heighten tension while providing practically no useful information whatsoever.
It was intriguing however, that Mrs Anne O’Donnell, normally seen bustling back and forth across the foyer, was mysteriously missing, while an earlier simple request for keys seemed to cause mild panic and indecision to cross her face. Hmm.
So congratualtions to Daniel Canning who managed to apprehend the reprobate Mrs O’Donnell, earning himself the bounty of £25. And further congratulations to Andrew House who raised £110 with this event.

As part of Lenten Charities fund-raising, a fugitive will descend upon OLHS on Tuesday (18th March). Pupils and staff can pay £1 to enter which provides them with a sticker to identify them as participants.
Clues will be left throughout the school leading to the identity of the culprit. The winner will receive a substantial prize (but they’re not saying what…).
What happens to non-fugitives accosted across the school is as yet unknown.
