This week we have special messages from members of our wider school community. #teammc
Father Martin
Hello Boys and girls. I am Father Martin Chambers. I am the priest at Mount Carmel School.
I am sure you will find that our school is a very happy place. When I come to Mount Carmel School, I normally talk to the boys and girls about God. In the school, we always remember how good God is to us.
God sends us his peace and his love. With the peace and love that God sends us, we will make sure Mount Carmel School is a very happy place.
Parent Council
Hello. Our names are Amanda and Neil. Together with other parents and carers, we run the Parent Council. Our role as parents is really important. We all want the school to be successful as it has such a big impact on our kids. Our views matter so it’s important that there is some way that the school’s management, staff and the Council know what our views are, while we give support and encouragement when it’s required.
So, for a couple of hours every 3 months, we all get together with the Head Teacher and Deputy Head Teacher for a cuppa and a chat, to find out what’s going on and how we, the parents, can help.
If you’re interested, then feel free to pop along to our meetings (they are ‘virtual’ just now due to COVID19, so you don’t even need to leave the house). You can find the dates and times on our Facebook page. We know it can be awkward joining, so please feel free to contact us beforehand, we can have a chat then introduce you to the rest of the group. They don’t bite, honest!
We hope to be saying “hello” to you very soon!
The Friends of Mount Carmel
Hello to all the new P1 Parents
The Friends of Mount Carmel (FOMC) is a fundraising group comprising of a group of parents and carers of the young people within our school. Our aim is to plan and co-ordinate various fundraising events such as School Discos, Fun Days and a Christmas Fayre along with any other activities associated with the staff and pupils of Mount Carmel Primary School that require our help.
The money we raise is used to benefit all the pupils of Mount Carmel Primary. This may be in the form of purchasing items for the schools e.g. books/equipment, facilitating transport to events e.g. covering the cost of buses for trips, providing gifts/prizes for pupils or to cover the cost of facilitating events e.g. paying for venues.
We aim to meet up face to face approximately 4 times throughout the school year so we can share ideas and plan for future fundraising events.
If this is something that you would be interested in and would like to be part of our group you are very welcome to contact us at friendsofmountcarmel@gmail.com and we will add you to our mailing list and welcome you at our next meeting when we return in august.
Look forward to meeting you all.
Deborah Boyd (Chairperson)
