Apologies for the information that went out about the cake and candy stall on yesterday’s and Monday’s blogs. This did not take place yesterday as had been originally planned, but will take place TODAY during morning interval. All proceeds will go to charity. Apologies once again to those children who brought in money yesterday and many thanks to Mrs O’Neill and Mrs Carlin for organising this fundraising event.

We were all shocked and saddened to hear the dreadful news about Keane Wallis-Bennett, the 12 year old girl who was tragically killed yesterday by a collapsing wall in an Edinburgh school. The thoughts and prayers of our whole school community are with Keane and her family and friends at this very sad and difficult time.

Father Doherty will be in school this afternoon to celebrate our end of term Mass. As I glance back over this term’s diary, it’s amazing to see how much we’ve managed to squeeze into school life since Christmas… and there are still a few more things to come before we finish for the Easter holidays on Friday. This afternoon’s Mass will allow our whole school community to set aside some quiet time to reflect on the past few months, give thanks for everything we’ve achieved this term and – most importantly – continue our Lenten journey together towards Holy Week and Easter.

Please note that the ‘Rich Man, Poor Man’ snack will now take place on Thursday rather than tomorrow. However, the cake and candy stall will be open for business at interval this morning. All money raised will go to our Lenten charities.

The Stations of the Cross will be prayed in the oratory this morning at 8.45am. This will continue tomorrow and conclude on Thursday morning. All pupils, parents/carers, staff and friends are very welcome to join us.
