History

Originally sited next to Our Lady's High School and Fir Park Stadium in Motherwell, the original building has since been demolished for redevelopment as a housing estate.

The college moved into a new campus on August 2009, which is located 1 kilometre (0.62 mi) from the old site.[1] It was officially opened on January 2010 by the Princess Royal.[2]

The campus is fully equipped, and has an on-site nursery.[3] There are two librarys/learning centres which members of the public can use on a drop in basis.[4]

Notable alumni
gollark: JSON and CBOR and whatnot are good formats for structured data, and you can parse those easily into structured data in your language of choice with about a gazillion tools (there's even `jq` for shell scripting!), and exchange them nicely over HTTP/TCP/whatever networking thing.
gollark: Which tends to be made up ad-hoc and be some terrible hard to parse thing.
gollark: If you want to translate structured data, which is what programs mostly operate on, into plaintext, you need some other format on top of that.
gollark: No, it's not, it's an... encoding, I guess.
gollark: Just because Unix does things doesn't make those things sensible.
