And our overall winner of our Star Prizes is: Rachel in P7
We raised an amazing £253 for the FOMC Christmas Raffle this year ! Thank you to everyone who bought tickets and helped us to reach this fantastic amount!

Please find attached the most recent letter to parents from the Head of Education, Linda McAulay-Griffiths.

You and everyone at Mount Carmel Primary School did something amazing on Friday. By putting on a silly jumper you’ve helped to give children in the UK and all over the world the chance to be excited about the future again – because it’s much easier to see the magic out there when you’re safe, healthy and have a full tummy.
