Today is Commonwealth Day and St Bartholomew’s staff and pupils are joining people across the world for ‘Sport Your Trainers’ to show our support for the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games. In addition to this, St Bartholomew’s will join tens of thousands of children and young people from hundreds of schools in over 30 countries for the World’s Biggest Assembly. P1-7 will come together in the hall this morning at 11.00 o’clock to reflect on two of the Commonwealth values:
– tolerance, respect and understanding
– peace and conflict resolution

Pupils are invited to donate £1 to wear their trainers today. The money raised will go to this year’s SCIAF Lent appeal.
