Clean Green Awards
We are so proud of the hard work of our wonderful pupils at Mount Carmel for all of their efforts towards making our school more eco friendly. Our Eco Committee have helped to drive forward changes within our school to gain our ‘Highly Commended Bronze Award’ through the Clean Green initiative as well as our green eco flag. This is only our first year in our eco journey so we are immensely proud of these achievements.
A special mention to Hannah and Sophia (P7), who introduced many eco strategies across the school and monitored their impact. Also, Mrs McGahon, our Eco Champion who has led our Eco Committee and supported our children throughout the year.
Hannah and Sophia attended the Clean Green Awards to collect our award and flag. They had a fantastic day networking with other schools. They enjoyed listening to all the eco friendly changes other schools have made.

Matilda Tickets-Parentpay
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
