During a meeting yesterday with the Synod coordinators from all 8 dioceses, as well as representatives from BCOS and SCES, it was agreed that providing families of school aged children every opportunity to participate in the Synod on Synodality, at the request of Pope Francis, is of paramount importance.

The Diocese of Galloway would therefore be grateful if  parents/carers would complete the  online questionnaire linked below to parents in your schools, with a deadline of Monday, 28th March.

The link is: https://form.jotform.com/213292942112954

Please do not hesitate to contact us if we can provide any further help or if you need any further information at this stage.

Kind regards,

Helena Rameckers

Diocesan Synodal Coordinator

We had a wonderful World Book Day last Friday !. All the children looked amazing and had made a lot of effort (as had the parents!).

A huge thank you to everyone who very kindly bought raffle tickets. We  made a grand total of £187 which will go towards school funds. Unfortunately, there could only be one winner and that was Sophie from Primary 4.

Well done Sophie, we hope you enjoy spending your gift card!
