Gardening Club

The Primary 5 members of the gardening club harvested all the fruit and vegetables which had been grown on the school grounds.  They managed to successfully grow carrots, spring onion, potatoes, radish, apples and pears.  The pupils then used the vegetables to make soup and fruit to make apple and pear crumble which they all enjoyed.

Parent Council AGM reminder-7pm Thursday 11 September 2014

All parents and carers are welcome to join the Parent Council. We represent the views of parents and carers at the school on all issues that affect our childrens’ experience. Please note the AGM is the only opportunity to join the group each year. Attendance in person is necessary under our constitution to join. Parents are however welcome to attend any other meeting as a non-member.

If there are too many potential members to ensure an effective and manageable group, a ballot will be held by Mr Jamieson. This will allow for an appropriate balance of experience and interests in the school.

If you have any queries, please contact us through olm-parentcouncil@hotmail.com or on our Facebook page (Our Lady of the Missions Primary School Parent Council) or contact Anne on 07952 251303.
