What is World Thinking Day?

World Thinking Day, formerly Thinking Day, is celebrated annually on 22 February by all Girl Guides and Girl Scouts. It is also celebrated by Scout and Guide organisations around the world. It is a day when they think about their “sisters” and “brothers” in all the countries of the world, the meaning of Guiding, and its global impact.

We will be celebrating World Thinking Day in school on Tuesday 22nd February and are inviting pupils who are part of an organisation such as Rainbows, Guides, Scouts, BB’s etc. to come to school dressed in their uniforms that day.

Please complete the form below only if you do not wish your child to receive ashes on Ash Wednesday.

At the moment, our Primary 4 pupils are preparing for their Confirmation.

Please keep them in your prayers.

Please complete the online P7 transfer application at http://eastayrshi.re/p7transfer no later than Wednesday 26 January 2022.

Your secondary school will already be in communication with your child via primary school to provide information and hand books are available at: www.eac.eu/secondaryschoolhandbooks.

We very much hope that visits and events may be possible later in the year to allow you and your child to visit their new school.

The type of National Entitlement Card you apply for and whether you need approval from a parent or guardian depends on your age.

Homework will restart for pupils as of next week .

Wishing all our Staff, pupils and families a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from everyone at Mount Carmel Primary !
