Our Lady's High School is a six-year Roman Catholic co-educational comprehensive school which opened in Ravenswood in 1968.[1] It caters for pupils living in Cumbernauld, Muirhead, Cardowan and Stepps and in addition to pupils from Condorrat, Dullatur, Moodiesburn and Castlecary.[2] The school's emblem is a post-modern artistic recreation of the Virgin and child.
Prior to its opening in 1968 there was no Roman Catholic high school in Cumbernauld and pupils had to make a 10-mile bus journey to Kirkintilloch to attend St Ninian's.
The school has always maintained a strong link with the surrounding community, and through pupils, parents and teacher links they are associated with several primary schools from which the intake is drawn:
The former Sacred Heart Primary in Kildrum was also a feeder primary until its closure in 2000. Like Sacred Heart, Our Lady's was architecturally designed by Gillespie, Kidd & Coia.[3]
The pupils are split into five Houses: St Pope John Paul II, St Mother Teresa, St Sebastian, St Francis, and St Patrick.
