You’ll notice lots of new photographs dotted around our website today. These were taken by John Wilson Photographers and, I think you’ll agree, add the final professional touch to our new-look website.

We are delighted to welcome a representative from SCIAF to our assembly today. The boys and girls will hear about the vital work of the Scottish Catholic International Aid Fund, who work amongst some of the poorest people of the world, and the Prayer Group will present the charity’s representative with a cheque for £400 – the fantastic sum of money our school community raised for SCIAF during Lent. The Bible says: ‘Do not forget to do good and to help one another, because these are the sacrifices that please God.’ (Hebrews 13:16) Many thanks to everyone in St Bartholomew’s for remembering our brothers and sisters around the world who need financial support and for giving so generously during Lent. Your money will make a real difference.

Today is Miss Mooney’s last day in St Bartholomew’s. Thank you for everything you have given to the school during your time with us. We will really miss you… please keep in touch!

Both Monday and Tuesday are holidays for pupils. Have a fantastic long weekend, boys and girls! See you bright and breezy on Wednesday morning!
