We kindly ask that all children bring in their costumes ASAP as we are hoping to fit in a couple of dress rehearsals next week before our big performances. The chorus for our show are wearing white shirts, grey trousers or a skirt, white socks and black shoes.
We do really appreciate your support with this and without it we would be unable to put on such a spectacular show.
With thanks, always,
MC staff 😊
With our rehearsals well under way we wanted to share a little sneak peek with you all. I think you would agree the children are all excellent. We cannot wait to welcome you in to see our performance. Remember, get your tickets on Parentpay as we have limited numbers available.
We would like to give a great big thank you to Beth from Take A Bow who is giving up her own time to choreograph our dancers.
Please complete the application form below if you wish your child to be considered for a space at the school breakfast club in Session 2024/25
Applications will close on Friday 7th June

Our amazing Parents and Friends of Mount Carmel used some of their funds to buy the school a new stage, just in time for our MATILDA musical next month. The stage is built and looks amazing. We have a few very big thank yous to make. First of all, our Parents and friends of Mount Carmel. Thank you for providing the funds to buy the stage. Next we would like to give a big shout out to Stuart and Graham who travelled quite a distance to collect the stage. And finally, a big thank you to our very own Mr Leslie who spent this afternoon building the stage. It is now ready for the children to rehearse on tomorrow.
We cannot wait for you all to see our show

During the Month of May, our Primary 4 Missio Champions have been continuing on their journey to be friends of Jesus.
We have a beautiful May altar in our classroom and have been reflecting on the life of Our Lady as well as praying the rosary to help us deepen our appreciation of Mary and learn how she can help us to become missionaries of God’s love too.
Our Lady of Mount Carmel pray for us.
This week, Matilda rehearsals will take place after school on Wednesday instead of tomorrow. We appreciate this may clash with some pupils who attend the after school Multi-sports club, however, in this instance, the show takes priority and those pupils should attend rehearsals this week rather than sports club.
Only those pupils who have already been called for rehearsals this week should attend.
Thank you and apologies for any inconvenience.
Please note: Instead of vegetarian haggis for lunch tomorrow it will be non-vegetarian. Apologies for any inconvenience.
