We were delighted to receive copies of the most recent Missio Newsletter which features  some lovely pictures of some of our pupils and a touching tribute to Father Martin. The feature details the hard work both he and Mount Carmel Primary dedicated to Missio Scotland and to making Mount Carmel a five star Missio Scotland School.

We have a limited number of  tickets left for both the afternoon and evening performances of our school show.  If you have not purchased your tickets yet please do so  now to avoid disappointment. If you have already purchased your limit of 4 tickets per family and would like additional tickets you can now do so on Parentpay.

Additional tickets will be allocated on a first come first served basis.

Our June Raffle is now live on Parentpay!

Could all children please come to school tomorrow wearing their sports day clothing (House Colours where possible).

Thank You

We have had several phonecalls regarding the purchase of tickets on Parentpay . 

Just to clarify; the tickets are £4 each, however, when multiple tickets are initially added to Parentpay the cost is showing as considerably more, and parents/carers are being put off purchasing them due to this.

Please be assured that when you continue with the transaction to the final payment stage, the total will be corrected.

Thank you 

Our Sports Day  will be held on tomorrow, 6th June.

We are very excited to be holding our Sports Day tomorrow June and are keeping our fingers crossed for good weather! Parents/carers are invited to come along on the day through the main car park gates and making their way through the upper playground to the grass area at the rear of the school.

Signs will be in place to follow.

We are encouraging the children to come to school wearing their sports clothes, House colours where possible. If your child does not know what House they are in, please contact the school office.

Children should bring with them comfortable clothes as they will take part in different activities throughout the day. They should also bring sun cream, a hat, sunglasses and plenty of water.  

Can we ask that immediately after your child’s races that you exit the school grounds to make way for the next group of Parents/Carers to attend and so on. Thank you.

Here is the running list for the races for each class:

• Primary 1     9.10am-9.40am

Apologies for any inconvenience

A reminder for P7 parents/carers that the St. Joseph’s  Information Evening  takes place tonight@6pm at St. Joseph’s Academy.

We would be obliged if you would please take the time to complete the following Learning Journals survey:

Learning Journals Survey

We are looking to borrow approx. 20 St. Joseph’s Academy ties to use in our school show this year.

If any parents/carers have any at home that we could possibly borrow we would be extremely grateful.

Thank you in advance.

Please note:

This week, Matilda rehearsals will take place after school on Wednesday instead of tomorrow. We appreciate this may clash with some pupils who attend the after school Multi-sports club, however, in this instance, the show takes priority and those pupils should attend rehearsals this week rather than sports club.

Only those pupils who have already been called for rehearsals this week  should attend. 

Thank you and apologies for any inconvenience.

Please note: Instead of vegetarian haggis for lunch tomorrow it will be non-vegetarian. Apologies for any inconvenience.
