Sr. Juliet visits Primary 3
Primary 3 had a lovely afternoon on Thursday when Sr. Juliet came to visit us.
We have been learning about our local community and the groups within our community. We really enjoyed hearing Sr. Juliet tell us all about the many fantastic groups in Our Lady of Mount Carmel Parish. Primary 3 had very thoughtful questions and we enjoyed sharing some of our knowledge with Sr. Juliet.
The boys and girls even treated Sr. Juliet to a beautiful rendition of one of our favourite hymns, ‘As I Kneel Before you.’
Thank you for your visit, Sr. Juliet!

Summer School Trip
We have today sent out in children’s bags 70 letters to parents/carers of children who have yet to either pay for or return required permission forms or ALL of the above for our summer school trip.
Unfortunately due to the time involved in organising multiple forms to be sent out we will not be in the position to offer any more replacement forms, therefore if we do not receive payment and completed outstanding forms by the 30th May your child WILL NOT attend the trip and will have to stay at home on the day of the trip.
Texts messages have also been sent to parents/carers of the children who have been issued letters today.

House Hamper Prize 2025
After the success of last years House Hamper Raffle Our Friends and Parent Council have decided to organise this fundraising event again this year to help raise some funds for our children in Mount Carmel.
We will be holding another Dress Down Day on Friday 30th May and are asking that each child (if they can) bring in an item of their house colour for the raffle. For example if your child was in the red house (fire), they could bring in a tin of ready salted Pringles. If you could support us with this we would very much appreciate it. The tickets for the raffle will then be sold for £1 and we will have 4 winners, a winner for each of our houses.
Good Luck everyone!!

Deadline for Summer Trip Payments
We still have a large number of outstanding payments and/or permission forms for our forthcoming school trip.
The final date for payment is 30th May which is next Friday.
Unfortunately, if payment has not been made by this date, your child/children will be unable to attend as we cannot then purchase a ticket for them .
If your child/children are not attending the trip, they will be unable to come into school on that day as there will be no teaching provision for them and will therefore have to stay at home.
Thank You
