Our winning house is……..Water !
Well done to everyone in the Water House! All the children in the Water house will be having a Movie morning with popcorn and then cooking with Stephanie in the afternoon . This will be on Thursday 9th December.
The film the children will be watching is Elf, which is a PG rated . If your child is in the Water house and you would rather they did not watch this film please contact the school office.

We are now taking orders for our Primary 7 Leavers’ Hoodies . They can be paid for now through Parentpay at a cost of £10 each . The full cost should be £19.50 but this has kindly been subsidised by Friends of Mount Carmel.

Due to the current Covid situation we are continuing to keep the school well ventilated by keeping as many windows as possible open throughout the school. We understand that this becomes more difficult during the winter months and dropping temperatures.
You may wish to have your child/children wear an extra layer of clothing underneath their school uniform to keep them warm.
Thank You
