St Vincent de Paul
Online Questionnaire for Parents/Carers
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!

World Book Day in our infant department
As promised, a selection of photos from our World Book Day activities from our infant department 🥰🥰
P5 World Book day
Yesterday, the whole school celebrated World Book Day 2022 and our P5 class took part in various activities during the day.
Here are some of the fabulous costumes:
Yesterday, we dressed up as characters from our favourite books. We all watched an ‘Authors’ Live’ session with Simon Farnaby, the actor from ‘Horrible Histories’. He has released a new book ‘The Wizard and Me’ about a talking guinea pig called Bubbles who is very funny and cheeky. It had us all laughing in class. He challenged us to write about an animal and use your imagination.
By Victoria P5
In the afternoon, at an assembly we took part in a parade and got to look at all the different costumes. They were all great! We really enjoyed the live session and looking at the ‘Flanimals’ by Ricky Gervais, we decided to create our own ‘Flanimals’ and develop their characters giving them human characteristics and using descriptive writing techniques.
By Archie and Millie Mc P5
Here are some ‘Flanimals’ you may not have heard of….
Random Act of Kindess
This afternoon we had some special visitors at the main entrance from Onthank Primary School. As part of their Random Acts of Kindness they presented the school with a cup of kindness poster.
