Welcome back everyone !
We hope you all had a lovely Easter break and that the Easter Bunny brought you lots of chocolate eggs!

Staff and pupils have recently been consulted on a proposed change to the time of the school break and lunch time. We would now like to consult parents and carers on this too. Please take some time to let us know your views on this.
Current Times: Break 10:30-10:45 Lunch 12:15-1:00
Proposed New Times: Break 10:40-10:55 Lunch 12:35-1:20
This change would mean that each part of the school day was 1hr and 40mins. This survey will close on Friday 21st April.

Dear Parents/Carers
Today I pass on the sad news that Mrs Taylor our Early Years Practitioner, (funded by the Scottish Attainment Challenge) will sadly be leaving us to take up a new post at James Hamilton ECC.
Mrs Taylor has become a highly valued member of our school team, her knowledge and expertise has brought a true wealth to our Mount Carmel family. Her love and devotion to the children and staff has shone throughout her time with us.
We wish her every success in her new role and she will be truly missed.
Kind regards,
Mrs Fergusson
Head Teacher
