New P1 Welcome Gift Bags

As we enjoy our final week of term  in Mount Carmel, we are busy preparing for the start of our next school year. 

We have prepared very special gift bags to welcome your child to Mount Carmel. As well as some lovely starting school treats, these bags include the P1 2021 Yearbook and information about the House Teams.

Gift bags are labelled with each child’s name and will be available to collect outside our main school entrance on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday ( until 12.00pm) of this week. When collecting gift bags, we ask that adults please wear face coverings and maintain social distancing .

Thank you.
