Welcome to our Class – Parent/Carer views

We’re looking for a Netball Coach!

We’re looking for a parent/carer/friend to help coach our school netball team. You don’t need to be an experienced coach, just knowledge of the sport and enthusiasm for working with children and a willingness to support our young players develop their confidence and skills.

Our Active Schools coordinator, Faye Meikle, will be able to assist you in getting started. All that is required is giving up an hour of your time (per week) for an afterschool club. Having a netball coach for the school team will allow them the chance to participate in friendly and school competitions, something that is often asked of by the young people.

If you’re interested or have any questions, please contact: Faye.Meikle@Ayrshire360.com or speak to a member of staff at the school.

It’s that time of year again !….”oh yes it is…….

                                  Live on Parentpay now!

On Friday 11th  December the whole school will be attending The Gaiety Theatre in Ayr this year to see the morning performance of the Pantomine “Dick Whittington“.

We will soon be sending home a letter about the trip which also includes information on how to pay via Parentpay, and a tear off slip  to return stating whether or not your child wishes to attend.  Please be aware that this is a whole school outing, if your child does not wish to attend they should be dropped off at school after we have returned from the performance.  

The cost per child this year is £17 this includes the ticket and transport.

If anyone has any concerns re the cost,  please contact the school office in confidence before Monday 14th September so we can discuss possible supports.

Thank you

We  were delighted to receive a mention in Linda McAulay-Griffiths Staff Update where she wrote:

Mount Carmel School Show

“A huge shout out to Team Mt Carmel for an amazing school show this week.  The audience were treated to a musical journey through the decades, aligned to the greatest hits of the time. The young people were just amazing, a big shout out to “Freddie Mercury” who had the audience in Radio Gaga mode ! Thanks so much to all involved in such an amazing production.”

Please do not send in any more clothing donations to the school

We are extremely grateful for all the clothing donations we receive throughout the year from parents/carers, however, at this time we have an enormous stock of both new and used school uniform etc. and have no more space at the moment for any more donations.

Thank you
