Parents of P7 transferring to St Luke’s Important Information
We had a lovely email from Mr Gordon complimenting our P7 pupils who visited St Luke’s last week of which an extract is below. Please note discount from Mansworld Uiforms supplier if ordered before Saturday 27th June.
Just a quick note to say that your pupils were a credit to your schools and their families during the induction days. The families who attended in large numbers on Thursday evening were also very supportive.
Our uniform supplier, Mansworld, took a lot of orders from families on Thursday evening. Due to the queues, some parents probably didn’t get the chance to order. Mansworld have decided to maintain the discount they were offering on the evening, as advertised in the price list sent to parents, until Saturday 27th June. I would really appreciate if you could pass this message to families or advertise on your websites. Mansworld can be contacted by families on 0141 638 7689 and info@mansworldglasgow.co.uk . I will also advertise on our website.
