St. Mary’s Roman Catholic Primary School, Bo’ness

Throughout the day, the children showed great enthusiasm, teamwork and determination as they took part in a series of fun football matches and activities. It was wonderful to see everyone encouraging one another, demonstrating excellent sportsmanship and representing St. Mary’s so positively.

The festival gave pupils the opportunity to develop their football skills, build confidence and enjoy being active alongside children from other schools. Most importantly, they had lots of fun!

Well done to all of our P4 footballers for their fantastic effort and behaviour throughout the event. We are very proud of you! ⚽🏃‍♂️

A huge thank you to Miss Bell and Primary 7 for all their hard work in planning and leading the activities. Their excellent organisation, creativity and leadership helped make it a fantastic day for everyone.

Pupils, staff, family members, friends and former colleagues came together for a retirement assembly filled with gratitude, laughter, happy memories and a few tears. It was a wonderful opportunity to reflect on the difference Mrs Roy has made to the lives of so many children and families over the years.

Throughout her time at St Mary’s, Mrs Roy has shown endless kindness, patience and care, supporting generations of pupils and helping them to feel confident, valued and successful. Her warm smile, gentle encouragement and unwavering commitment have made her a much-loved member of our school family.

While we will miss seeing Mrs Roy in our corridors and classrooms, we are so grateful for everything she has given to St Mary’s over the past 27 years. Her impact will be felt for many years to come, and she will always hold a special place in the heart of our school.

From all of us at St Mary’s, thank you, Mrs Roy, for your dedication, friendship and care. We wish you a long, happy and well-deserved retirement filled with new adventures, precious family time and many wonderful memories. You will always be part of the St Mary’s family.

Primary 6 and Primary 7 enjoyed an exciting rugby taster session with coaches from Falkirk Rugby Club this morning. Throughout the session, pupils demonstrated great enthusiasm and skill as they practised running confidently with the ball, mastered pocket passes and worked together effectively as a team.

It was wonderful to see our learners showing respect and encouragement towards one another while developing new rugby skills. A huge thank you to Falkirk Rugby Club for providing such a fun and engaging experience for our pupils. We look forward to welcoming them back in the future!

A special well done also goes to every pupil who put themselves forward and delivered a speech to their class. Speaking in front of others takes courage, confidence and preparation, and we are incredibly proud of everyone who took part. The standard of speeches was excellent, and it was wonderful to see so many pupils demonstrating leadership, responsibility and commitment to making our school an even better place to learn.

We wish all of our new representatives every success in their role this year.

The children demonstrated excellent determination, resilience and sportsmanship as they competed against pupils from schools across the area. The challenging course tested both their fitness and perseverance, and every participant should be proud of their effort and achievement.

A huge congratulations to everyone who took part and represented our school so positively.🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️
