HOLY CROSS HIGH SCHOOL

On Saturday 24th November our sixth Christmas Fayre took place in the school – and what a wonderful day was had by one and all.

Once again, this was an event which was planned and organised by our Parent Council and staff, with Mrs Sneddon, from our Business Education Department/Pupil Support, co-ordinating operations in school.

Compere, David Cluckie did a fantastic job keeping everyone up to date with what was on offer The turnout and support from our parents/carers, friends and family, friends of friends and our young people and staff was absolutely outstanding. On behalf of Holy Cross High School and our Parent Council, I would like to thank everyone who came along and supported our Christmas Fayre – we very much appreciate your support.

Jane Lewis, BBC Sports Presenter officially opened the Fayre. Mr & Mrs Claus made a special visit to our Fayre and thanks to Pat and Dennis (parents of Denise McGhie, Chair of the Parent Council). They were able to make special arrangements for Mr & Mrs Claus to be there. Many thanks to Ms Angela Martin and Ms Harvie who created a beautiful Grotto fitting for out special guests.

There is still some money to come in and be added to the total, but all of it, half going to the Parent Council’s Fund and the other half going to The School Fund, will be used for a variety of events/resources for our young people.

A welcome addition to our Christmas Fayre this year was entertainment provided by our Staff Choir. Their beautiful singing added to the festivities and the warm atmosphere. The Choir members are: Mrs Dorothy McDonald, Ms Angela Martin, Mrs Karen Toal, Mrs Kirstin Roan, Mrs Bernie Gribbin, Mrs Maria Ercolino and Mrs Louise Constable. Piano: Ms Sarah Horne

Well done to everyone involved and we look forward to announcing the total in due course. Thank you – Mrs Carla Fagan

Pictured below are some of the stalls and the stallholders who did such a great job on the day.
