It was lovely watching all our new Primary 1’s coming in to school on their first day yesterday. We look forward to getting to know them all over the coming weeks.

Fun Day
Well we definitely know how to have fun at MC. Here are a few pictures from our fantastic day on Wednesday (even if the good old Scottish weather meant we couldn’t go outside). We would like to give a great big shout out and thank you to our wonderful Friends of Mount Carmel who organised our fun day. We had a blast. We would also like to say a great big thank you to Deborah Boyd who has been an amazing friend of Mount Carmel for many years. She has been a parent at our school for the last 13 years and has helped organised many fun days! We will miss you and thank you Deborah 💙

Farewell Fr Martin
Today we celebrated our final Mass with Fr Martin. We raised the roof with some of our favourite hymns and of course a special rendition of Super Crab! We can’t thank Fr Martin enough for all of the love and support he has shown in developing the faith of our school community. He will be greatly missed, however he will always hold a very special place in our Mount Carmel family.

Over the past few years the children have been supported by Jason; (you may have heard your children mention him.) Jason is part of a team that provide sports activities and games for our children. He has coordinated multi sports clubs and helped facilitate health inputs and transition games. The children are so fond of him and he has an excellent way of motivating and engaging them throughout! Jason is leaving us this year to pursue his dreams of becoming a teacher! We wish him luck and believe he will be outstanding in this role when the time comes!
Thank you from all your Mount Carmel Family.

Any parents and carers who do not wish their child to be part of these lessons please contact the school by 3pm on Friday 23rd June.
Thank you,

Teacher Gifts
We have been struck by the number of adverts, shop displays and social media posts about teacher/staff gifts at this time of year.
We want to let you know that none of this is necessary. It is upsetting to see that there is so much out there putting pressure on families to believe that this is what school staff expect. We don’t!
We do our jobs because we love it! We love your children and the best gift for us is having the privilege to be alongside them as they grow and develop.
So, once again we remind our families that a simple ‘Thank You’ is more than enough.
From all of the staff at Mount Carmel
