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.

You can view the newsletter below :

Missio Newsletter April 2024 – Father Martin

Could all P4 – P7 girls ensure that they come to school  on Monday with hair ready for the community performance of the show (high ponytail, pig tails or french braid) 

 Girls are also welcome to bring some items of make up to wear  for performances should they wish to do so.

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.

We have had reports of  unwanted “visitors”  to some children  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.

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.

With only 3 weeks to go till the day of our trip we still have a number of pupils who havent paid for this trip.

If we do not receive payment (via Parentpay or Paypoint) or the childs permission slip returned to school NO LATER THAN 31st May we will assume that you do not wish your child to attend the trip and they will not be allowed to attend the trip on the day.

If children do not attend the trip they should not attend school that day as there will be no school staff present on this day.

During the Month of May, our Primary 4 Missio Champions have been continuing on their journey to be friends of Jesus.

We have a beautiful May altar in our classroom and have been reflecting on the life of Our Lady as well as praying the rosary to help us deepen  our appreciation of Mary and learn how she can help us to become missionaries of God’s love too.

Our Lady of Mount Carmel pray for us.

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.
