It was with heavy hearts today that we listened to Fr Martin announce he would be moving parish to take up a new post in Troon.
Fr Martin has supported our children on their faith journey in a unique and caring way. We will be sad to see him leave on the 30th June, however, we wish him well in his new role.
Fr Martin has been central to our Mount Carmel Family and will continue to always have a special place in our hearts.

Primary 7 will take part in their next transition visit on Thursday 2nd March. Children will leave for St Josephs just after 9am and will be back at Mount Carmel for lunch time. Please note that children should wear full school uniform this day (not own clothes as part of World Book Day activities).

We have a number of children across the school with Gastro symptoms, Diarrhoea and/or vomiting. After seeking advice from the Health Protection Team they have asked for parents/carers to be reminded about the importance of washing hands and if a child does show symptoms they must be without these for 48hrs prior to returning to school.
Thank you for you cooperation with this matter.
