Chill Out Afternoon - Friday 23rd April 2021
As part of our programme to welcome our young people back to Cardinal Winning we will be replacing our usual Friday afternoon activities with a 'chill out' afternoon this week.
Our upper school sports leaders will be providing a range of sporting activities in the playgrounds, there will be a barbeque serving hotdogs and burgers and we will have some quiet rooms for pupils who wish to use them. The school day will finish at 3.20pm as usual and transport arrangements will be unchanged.
Friday will also be an optional non-uniform day so there is no requirement to wear uniform on this day and there will be no cost for this event.
Letters will be sent home in school bags today.

For the attention of all parents/carers of young people in S4 – S6
- Senior Phase National Qualification Practical Lessons – rota for in-school provision
By now you will likely have been in discussion with your son/daughter’s Year Head (Mr Watt – S4/Mrs Farrah – S5/6) regarding part-time in-school practical lessons for your young person starting Wednesday 24th February.
- This is not for every pupil in S4 – S6, but only for those who have chosen options with practical learning that cannot be successfully supported by remote learning
- This will likely be one or two blocks during the week of 2 hours and 15 minutes each
- We have emailed all our parent/carer partners who have young people receiving this support with your son/daughter’s timetable while this provision is in place
If you have any further questions, please don’t hesitate to phone the school and discuss with your son/daughter’s year head.
- Covid-19 Home Testing entitlement
If you have a young person attending school for the above provision or the keyworker provision at present, your young person is entitled to take home a Covid-19 Testing Kit.
- This kit includes three tests.
- If your young person is attending school every day, the tests should be carried out at home on a Sunday and Wednesday.
- If your young person is attending school on certain days, carry out a test the night before.
- Your son/daughter will take home the box of tests with a consent form to be completed by you as parent/carer. This form must be completed, signed and returned to the school.
- Instructions for carrying out the test can be found in the box. Here is a youtube link which will also help with the process
- If your young person tests positive, please follow NHS guidance: do not send your young person to school.

Home Learning in January
Dear parents/carers
- We begin our home learning provision for your young people on Monday 11th January.
- We will be relying on Glow email accounts - all our young people have one - to provide home learning activities, tasks and resources.
- The best way to support your learner to access online learning resources is using their school-issued iPad to log into Glow. Any iPads that have not been taken home by pupils will be delivered to homes by staff in the coming days.
- We will tweet a short video to help you support your learner to access his/her Glow account on the iPad. https://twitter.com/cardinalwinnin1
- If your young person has forgotten their Glow username and/or password, just email dmarks@cardinalwinning-sec.glasgow.sch.uk and we will email you the details you need to get into Glow.
- If you would like a copy of your young person’s timetable to help structure home learning during this period, just email headteacher@cardinalwinning-sec.glasgow.sch.uk and a copy will be sent to you.
We want to support you to keep our learners learning during this difficult start to the year. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact us here at the school.
Stay safe and God bless,
P Johnstone
Head Teacher

Dear Parents and Carers
Updated guidance for schools
On Friday 30th October, the Scottish Government updated its guidance for schools. We have placed the link on the Glasgow web-site within the Schools and Learning Section. It can be found here: https://glasgow.gov.uk/article/25947/Recovery-Resilience-and-Reconnection-2020
You can also find it here:
https://www.gov.scot/publications/coronavirus-covid-19-guidance-on-reducing-the-risks-in-schools/
There is also the latest advice on children and transmission – it is available here: https://www.gov.scot/publications/coronavirus-covid-19-children-and-transmission/
As you will already know, Glasgow has been placed at level 3 in the new five level approach from the government.
It remains the case that very good handwashing regimes, maintaining physical distancing (2 m, wherever possible) and good hygiene when coughing and sneezing are the best ways to reduce the risk of the virus spreading. Our schools and nurseries will continue to promote these along with other measures, such as maintaining class groupings, staggered breaks and lunchtimes, keeping doors and windows open to improve airflow.
The main changes for level 3 are:
∙ All staff and pupils in S4 to S6 should wear face coverings in class as well as in other areas of the school.
∙ Indoor PE is now permitted but the use of changing rooms should be avoided. ∙ All staff when working directly with children should wear a face covering and also when in corridors and other areas of the school.
∙ All parents/visitors to the school site should wear face coverings including when dropping off or picking up their children. You may wish to consider wearing a face covering if the drop off/pick up areas are busy outside the school.
I would ask you to work with us positively to ensure that we can continue to keep our schools open. We all have a part to play.
2.
We know that some of this is very challenging but unless we all work together and keep ourselves safe then our children and young people are going to have their learning disrupted.
The schools worked hard last week to celebrate Hallowe’en without the usual parties and it was clear that the children had great fun - safely!
Please continue to keep safe at home - keeping to the rules of not mixing households, maintaining at least 2 metres distance when chatting and mixing with friends and neighbours and regularly washing your hands thoroughly using soap and water.
Thank you for your continued support.
Yours sincerely
MAUREEN McKENNA
Executive Director of Education

Dear Parent/Carers
- If your young person has a pair of personal headphones, could they remember to bring these in their schoolbag - this will remove the need for young people to share headphones in Technical, Music and ICT Class.
- The school has sinks with soap and water in every classroom and 10 hand sanitising stations located at key points in the school. There is no requirement for your child to bring his/her own bottle of hand-sanitiser. Over use can cause skin irritation. Help us to help our young people to maintain good hand hygiene while avoiding any skin injury or irritation.
- During lockdown we issued a large number of English and Maths textbooks to support home learning. We would be grateful if you have a text book at home that you pack in your child's schoolbag to return when they come to school this week.
