Day: June 13, 2018

This morning we had a visit from the Queen of the South Elect and her key attendants as they get set for the Guid Nychburris celebrations this weekend.  The Cornet wanted to check we were all in good voice for Saturday so we had to shout very loudly.  As you will see from the photos there was also a horse race with a twist!

Several of our pupils did very well in the Guid Nychburris handwriting competition and the awards were presented to the children during this visit.

Our school attendant Lauren looked beautiful in her blue dress and we can’t wait to cheer her on Saturday (fingers crossed for some sun!)

Our annual football match for the St. Marcellin Champagnat Trophy took place today against St. Teresa’s Primary. The game took place at Maryfield with the players in each side giving everything. With a selection of players from various classes, St. Andrew’s managed to retain the trophy convincingly by a score of 11-3, despite St. Teresa’s being able to field an older,  physically stronger team. Well done to all. The game was played in a super spirit, with Miss Blount, head teacher of St. Teresa’s handing over the trophy to the St. Andrew’s team captain, Tomas.
