Our winning House- Earth, had a fabulous time this morning at Jungle Madness.  All the children behaved wonderfully and enjoyed having their picture taken with Elmo!

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!

Next Friday the children in P3 will be watching Moana 2 , the movie. This film is rated PG. If you do not wish your child to watch this movie please contact the school office and let us know.

We were so excited to kick off our SCIAF FUN DAY with a visit from STRYDER.

Stryder helps us to walk to school as much as we can as it helps us to keep fit and helps our environment too!!

We would like to congratulate our wonderful children in making their sacrament of Reconciliation. They were absolutely wonderful and we agree with Father Jim that they behaved like angels.

Well done everyone 💙

We are delighted to announce that we will have a very special visitor in our playground tomorrow morning. Stryder will be in school before 9 o’clock to welcome the children in before the day begins, Make sure to give them a big wave if you see them!

We are excited to let you know that we have just booked our whole school summer trip  to Heads of Ayr Farm Park!

The trip is booked for Wednesday 18th June . The buses will leave the school at 9.30am and the children will be back at school in time for normal school pick up at 3pm. 

If your child does not wish to attend the trip, they will need to stay at home on the day as there will be no provision for them in school.

We are very grateful to St. Vincent De Paul  who have made a very generous  donation towards our buses which has helped to keep the cost per child down.

We have set up the trip on Parentpay today with an initial NON- REFUNDABLE deposit of £8 payable by Friday 2nd May . This will leave only one more payment of £8 to be paid by Friday 30th May.

Permission forms will be sent home this week.  These must be returned no later than Friday 30th May. 

Reminder that Share the Learning for Primary 3 will take place on Monday 24th March at 2pm.

      Reminder  that  parents/carers should not use the Crossgates Care Home Car Park when dropping off or collecting their children.

This is a private car park for use of staff & resident families ONLY 

Access should always be given to Emergency Service vehicles and overcrowding of this car park could prevent this from happening.

Please be considerate at all times when dropping off or collecting your children
