We have had a number of parents contact us regarding their concerns in relation to potential “unwanted” visitors within childrens hair. 

We have today sent home with every child information on how to look for and treat any potential issues with this.

We would therefore kindly ask ALL parents to check their childs hair over the weekend and treat accordingly should you be required to do so.

Thankyou 

Mrs Fergusson

We have had reports of  unwanted “visitors”  to some children within the school,  we kindly ask that parents/carers routinely check their child/children’s hair for any of these  unwanted “visitors” and take appropriate action if required Thank you for your co-operation.

Thank you to everyone who supported our Book Fair last week, it was a huge success!

We took in over £800 in online purchases and as a result we now have over £400 worth of Scholastic rewards to spend on books for the school.

On Wednesday, we welcomed into school our beautiful Sister Juliet and Frank from SCIAF.  Frank talked to us about where our money was going and why our fundraising is so important.

We are so proud of our children in Mount Carmel School, raising so much money for people who are less fortunate than us. To quote Frank, our children are “a shining example pf what a well behaved school looks like.”

Well done to everyone!
