October – The Month of the Rosary\u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n

During the month of October all classes have been asked to participate in The Rosary Challenge.\u00a0 We are invited to pray a decade of the rosary each day.\u00a0 We talked about the Rosary in assembly and were able to show a very special rosary gifted to the school by Briar and Casey’s mum and dad after a trip to Rome and the Vatican City.\u00a0 \u00a0Thank You!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Mass at Our Lady of Lourdes and St Patrick’s Church<\/h4>\n

We were delighted to celebrate mass with our parishioners.\u00a0 We are so proud of all our pupils, it was such a joy to see them participate in the mass, demonstrating faith and being respectful.\u00a0 Thank You so much to Fr Erasmus and all at our Auchinleck parish for having us.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Visits to P7<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Primary 7 have been visited by Mr Boyle from St Joseph’s Academy and Mrs Ferguson from Robert Burns Academy.\u00a0 Our transition planning with our secondary schools begin when pupils are in P6.\u00a0 Staff begin to have conversations ahead of a full programme for P7.<\/p>\n

The Scottish Fire and Rescue service worked with P7 to introduce them to CPR.\u00a0 A life saving skill.\u00a0 We hope none of our pupils ever find themselves in a position of having to do this but we know that if faced with someone requiring it they would be able to stay calm and put their knowledge and skills to the test.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Diocesan Youth Team<\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Fr Kevin and Margaret came into school and spoke to all P5 – P7s about the upcoming opportunities within the diocese.\u00a0 These events are open to all young people regardless of following any faith group or none.\u00a0 There are bursaries available to ensure that any young person wanting to participate can.\u00a0 Please see the information for upcoming events and a letter detailing how to apply for financial support.<\/p>\n

School Photographs<\/h4>\n

Thank You so much to Pulze Photography for the amazing photographs of your children.\u00a0 I’m sure you’ll agree that the photographs are beautiful.\u00a0 We are also indebted to Robbie for the new headshots of staff.\u00a0 These can be found on our updated meet the team board at the front of the school and on the blog page.<\/p>\n

Wednesday Parent Support Group<\/h4>\n

We have opened a space within the school for parents to meet for a cuppa and a chat on Wednesday afternoons.\u00a0 Space is open from 2pm.\u00a0 There is no agenda, no school staff – just a safe space for parents and carers to get together and discuss the challenges and successes of parenting.\u00a0 \u00a0We hope some of you will make use of this time and space.\u00a0 Depending on what you what you want, we can arrange for people to come and provide workshops, wellbeing support, financial advice \u2026 or simply leave it as a space and time to breath and pause for a bit.<\/p>\n

Pupil Progress Meetings\u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Pupil progress meetings take place on Thursday in the school hall.\u00a0 For those of you who are new to the school, you simply come along at your appointment time.\u00a0 All staff will be in the hall.\u00a0 We will have P7s on hand to help out.<\/p>\n

Parent Council<\/h4>\n

Our fabulous Parent Council met again last week to firm up arrangements for the Halloween discos\u00a0 and discuss various other items including fundraising over Christmas.\u00a0 \u00a0Halloween discos will take place on Thursday 29th October.\u00a0 Tickets are available on parent pay.<\/p>\n

School N<\/strong>ewspaper<\/strong><\/h4>\n
