The new books are here! Exciting!

Today we launched 6 new volumes of stories co-produced by our pupils and our wonderful writers and illustrators.

Thank you to everyone involved in this project this year, so many wonderful memories and so much excellent work that has developed our pupils and raised awareness of such an important issue.

Enjoy these lovely pictures from the day!

St. Albert’s was shortlisted for a Scottish Education Award in Curriculum Innovation and today – we found out we were the winners!

The We Can be Heroes project was a key part of this award submission but the category reflects so many things that go on at St. Albert’s from innovative practice to offer support to children with PTSD and ASN to working with artists, film-makers and campaigners on current issues. We aim to provide a curriculum that reflects the real world that our pupils live in as well as responding to their particular experience of it in terms of their cultural heritage, their home life and our geographic location in Pollokshields, Glasgow. We are so proud of our school, so proud of our pupils and so delighted to have all this work recognised in this way.

As part of the work funded by the Scottish Library and Information Council, St. Albert’s has worked in partnership with the Barrowland Ballet to produce a music and movement interpretation of our stories. This partnership element has been a real joy for parents, pupils and staff alike.

The St. Albert’s Social Enterprise crew did an amazing job today! We didn’t win this year but the judges were so impressed with the team’s confidence and knowledge of our business, its aims and how important it is for them and children like them. Well done all!
