Message from Mrs McConville
Dear Parents/Carers,
It is with very mixed feelings I write to tell you it is my intention to retire at Easter. I have worked in education for 36 years in a wide variety of roles but it has been my time at Mount Carmel, though short, that has been one of the highlights.
I informed East Ayrshire of my decision before Christmas and that has given sufficient time for the Head Teacher’s post to be advertised. The national advert is now live on Myjobscotland with the closing date of the 23rd January.
I am looking forward to my last few months in the school and will make sure the hand over to the new Head Teacher goes smoothly.
I will write to you later in the term and keep you up to date with any information to be shared. As always thank you for your support #Team Mount Carmel.
Kindest Regards
Mrs McConville.
Happy New Year
Dear Parents/ Carers
Happy New Year to all of our Mount Carmel family past and present. I hope you had a restful Christmas despite the challenges. We are delighted to welcome all our children back and are looking forward to a term of fun and learning.
Mrs Carole McConville
Head Teacher

Primary 1-3 Book Activity Afternoon
On Wednesday children in Primary 1-3 had a fantastic afternoon sharing their favourite books and completing some lovely activities. Everyone also enjoyed a glass of milk and cookie. Thank you to Primary 7 who were brilliant helpers.
We look forward to sharing our pictures of this great afternoon.
Latecoming
A reminder that children should be in their line for school starting at 9am.
Increasingly we are seeing more children arriving to school after 9am and coming in via the main entrance. This means that children are missing the initial items that are taking place first thing in the morning. Going forward it is important that children arrive to school on time unless prior arrangements have been put in place.
Thank you for your support with this matter.
Evidence of a negative PCR result
If you have been sent a letter from the NHS regarding sending your child for a PCR test we kindly request that you send a copy of a negative result before your child returns to school. This can be emailed to:
