Celebrating the Success of our Diocesan Schools: Commendations to our eight diocesan high schools in their SQA Awards for 2019.  In almost all categories they performed above their Local Authority and National levels of attainment.  Successes in the Pope Francis Award at P6-7 and the Caritas Award in S6 formally recognised the many works of service undertaken by our young people .  Over ninety percent left school for Positive Destinations in Further and Higher Education, employment and training. Maintaining and improving on these results will be a challenge but one that I our schools and the Diocese will take on and meet.  +Bishop John
