At the start of this school year, all children at Mount Carmel completed the Glasgow Motivation and Wellbeing Profile (GMWP) to enable monitoring and tracking of wellbeing across all stages.

The Wellbeing Profile is a 20-item questionnaire that explores motivation and sense of wellbeing in the learning context. This initial profile allows us to have meaningful dialogue in relation to wellbeing and identify next steps and/or if additional support is needed. Questions within the profile are based upon 4 key themes; Agency (skills and success), Affiliation (sense of belonging), Autonomy (embracing responsibilities), and Healthy and Safe.

Class teachers will be sharing the data from the questionnaires with pupils and individual/class targets will be set to ensure progress is made.

This intervention is a positive step towards better supporting your child’s overall wellbeing.

We thank you for your continued support.

Congratulations to Gabo P6 on winning the FOMC Killieween Raffle!

Enjoy your goodies!

Our children have worked hard in creating beautiful Christmas Art designs.

Parents/Carers have the opportunity to view and purchase various products that showcase your childs individual image should they wish to do so.  With any purchases made a percentage of this will go towards fundraising for various school activites.

Pupils have been provided with a leaflet today detailing how parents/carers are able to view their childs design as well as purchase any products should they wish to do so.
