Monday is St Mark’s French Day and pupils are encouraged to dress in the colours of the French flag, blue, white and red.

Can children in Primary 2, please ensure that they have returned all reading and library books to school no later that Monday 24th June. This would help us greatly in preparing for classes next year.
