Session 2013\/2014 is now well under way.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 It has been great to see all our classes settle so well.\u00a0 We have got off to a flying start in all aspects of school life.\u00a0 Our welcome Mass last week was a lovely occasion.\u00a0 P7 led the liturgy and P1 sang a song for their parents and grandparents.\u00a0 Fr Stephen also showed us some photos of his recent trip to Malawi.\u00a0 We are hoping this year to establish a school and parish partnership with the area in which Fr Stephen worked.\u00a0 Classrooms for Malawi is the charity which organised Fr Stephen’s visit and we hope to be able to support this charity in the coming year.\u00a0 Cheques have also been posted to St Andrew’s Hospice, Let The Children Live, Missio, Cancer Research and SCIAF from all our charity work last session.\u00a0 Your generosity has been outstanding and is a tribute to the whole school community.<\/p>\n

We are also delighted with the support and generosity shown by those who contributed to the success of our recent race night.\u00a0 The PTA did a great job in raising in excess of \u00a3900 in such a short period of time.\u00a0 This money allows us to go ahead with the pantomime outing for all the children.\u00a0 Well done and thank you!<\/p>\n

Last week we were sad to see Mrs McLinden leave the school after 14 years of dedication and commitment to St Bernadette’s school.\u00a0 I am sure you will join me in wishing her health and happiness as she enjoys a more leisurely lifestyle looking forward to the birth of her grand child.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow we are hosting an afternoon tea for McMillan Cancer Nurses.\u00a0 We hope for a big turn out with a chance for a chat and to contribute to a very worthwhile cause.\u00a0 The hall will be open from 1.30pm.<\/p>\n

Well done to our children who have received an H Factor award so far.\u00a0 It is a great achievement to be recognised by the class teacher for consistent effort and behaviour.\u00a0 It is great to see the children wear their bands with pride.<\/p>\n

P6 enjoyed a super day at Our Lady’s High School last week.\u00a0 They got an opportunity to see the school and work co-operatively with the other feeder schools in various workshops and challenges.\u00a0 We have an excellent liaison programme established with OLHS to ensure all our children make a successful transition when the time comes.\u00a0 I have been delighted to hear from various parents and from Mrs Donnachie that the current S1 have made a very positive start to their secondary education.<\/p>\n

On Friday I was proud to accompany our P7 children to the Diocesan Mass at Carfin Grotto.\u00a0 Despite the rain the children participated fully in the Mass and were a credit to themselves and their families.<\/p>\n

On Friday we will have our first committee meetings of the year.\u00a0 All children are involved in one of ten committees ECO, Health, ICT, Pupil Council, JRSO, Rights Respecting School, Community Links, Fair Trade, Outdoor Learning and Enterprise.\u00a0 All groups work hard to ensure we address all aspects of the Curriculum for Excellence.<\/p>\n

Parents Evening takes place on Thursday 10th October.\u00a0 We are looking forward to welcoming all the parents into school to meet the teachers and to see your child’s work and class.<\/p>\n
