During a meeting yesterday with the Synod coordinators from all 8 dioceses, as well as representatives from BCOS and SCES, it was agreed that providing families of school aged children every opportunity to participate in the Synod on Synodality, at the request of Pope Francis, is of paramount importance.

The Diocese of Galloway would therefore be grateful if  parents/carers would complete the  online questionnaire linked below to parents in your schools, with a deadline of Monday, 28th March.

The link is: https://form.jotform.com/213292942112954

Please do not hesitate to contact us if we can provide any further help or if you need any further information at this stage.

Kind regards,

Helena Rameckers

Diocesan Synodal Coordinator

We had a wonderful World Book Day last Friday !. All the children looked amazing and had made a lot of effort (as had the parents!).

A huge thank you to everyone who very kindly bought raffle tickets. We  made a grand total of £187 which will go towards school funds. Unfortunately, there could only be one winner and that was Sophie from Primary 4.

Well done Sophie, we hope you enjoy spending your gift card!

Dear Parents and Guardians,

Lent begins on Ash Wednesday which is the 2^nd March this year. Mount Carmel wants to focus on helping people less fortunate than us at this special time.

This Lent, SCIAF is asking us to act and pray in hope, to fight the Climate Emergency and help build God’s Kingdom here on Earth.

As part of our Lenten celebration within school, Primary 4 have organised the following activities for the weeks of Lent:

3^rd March 2022 – World book Day (children should come to school dressed as a character from a book).

11^th March 2022 – Outdoor activity afternoon (children can bring their scooters, bikes, skipping ropes or any other outdoor toy to play with in the afternoon. Please be advised that all children bringing a bike or a scooter MUST also bring a helmet to wear for health and safety reasons).

18^th March 2022 – Activities day (each class will be given a time slot to take part in a range of activities. These activities include an Easter colouring competition, beat the goalie, egg and spoon race, selfie booth and decorate a cupcake (Please contact the school with any allergies that would stop your child from participating in this activity).

25^th March 2022 – Pyjama and movie afternoon (children can wear their pyjamas to school and will watch a movie of their choice within their classrooms. The children can also bring a small snack for this).

1^st April – Easter egg raffle/Teddy bear Raffle (tickets will be on sale from the 3^rd March and the winner will be chosen on this day).

Raffle tickets will go on sale on the 3^rd March and will cost 20p each. For the Easter egg raffle, there will be a class egg and then all the pupils who have bought a ticket will go into a big raffle for the school egg.

For the other activities, we kindly ask for a donation. Please be as generous as you feel able to be. It is for a very worthy cause.

The children can bring cash into the school for these activities and will be asked to put their donations straight into the SCIAF boxes within their classes.

A great big thank you in advance for all of your support.

Mrs. McCreadie and the boys and girls in Primary 4.

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.
