Our final Open Afternoon of the session takes place next Wednesday, 13th March, from 1.15-3.15. We’re not putting on anything special this time, but parents/carers are very welcome to visit classes to see and to talk about the learning which the children have been doing this term.

Preparation for the reception of the Sacraments is continuing in school. This Sunday, 10th March, sees the Rite of Enrolment ceremony during 10am Mass in St Clement’s church. Recopnciliation will take place on 25th April, Confirmation on 28th April and First Communion on 19th May. Please support our children at these celebrations as they continue on their faith journey.

P5-7 will be presenting the musical show ‘Bugsy Malone’ on 23rd April in the afternoon and 24th April in the evening. This promises to be a fab event – tickets will be on sale soon after the spring holidays.

As detailed in a newsletter sent out and posted last week, we will not now be holding Parents Evenings in March but will instead issue Annual Reports at the end of this term and hold Parents’ Meetings in June once we have moved. Contact the school for details.

Firstly, good luck to Miss Lawrnce who is now off on maternity leave. Mrs Rice will be covering Breakfast Club duties until Miss Lawrence returns. Also, the issues which caused late opening on Monday have been resolved for the time being, so things should be back to normal. 🙂
