Tuesday 15th December 7pm – 9pm

The disco this year is in Our Lady of the Missions school hall.

Children should wear casual clothes as it becomes very warm in the hall.

PSA will provide juice and a treat therefore no money is required.

Thursday 10th December is our Enterprise Day.  It is also a non uniform day.  All monies raised will be going to our Advent Charities. Lots of stalls and fun activities will be available throughout the morning, where Primaries 1 – 7 can spend their money.

In the afternoon, Primaries 5- 7 will be entertained by Our Lady of the Missions X Factor contestants, for a bargain admission price of £1.  Who knows they may be witnessing a future  star!

Primary 7 pupils will be selling raffle tickets in all classes from tomorrow until Thursday 10th , when the raffle will be drawn at the end of Enterprise Day.  There are LOTS of great prizes for the children to win.  Tickets are priced at 20p.

Please support our Advent Charities.

Following on from last year’s successful ‘Towards a litter-free East Renfrewshire’ campaign, the Environment Department is running a new initiative this term which raises awareness of the impact of Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) on the environment.

 We are looking for your support as we host a WEEE bin for a period of four weeks during the month of November.  The bin will be used for any small WEEE that the school may need to dispose of but crucially, we are asking pupils to bring in any small WEEE that they may have lurking in drawers at home, such as old computer consoles, hair-dryers, IPod, mobile phones and chargers etc. 

 The box will be in the school mensa throughout this month and there is an incentive of 20 house points for the house that brings in the most items.

 We thank you for your support.
