A VERY WARM WELCOME TO OUR SPECIAL GUESTS!

St Bartholomew’s extends a very warm welcome this morning to Mike Russell, Cabinet Secretary for Education and Lifelong Learning, and to Andrew Sutherland, Executive Director of Learning and Leisure Services for North Lanarkshire Council.

The visit will begin with ‘A Taste of St Bart’s’, when our guests will have the opportunity to meet the cast of ‘Joseph’, our dance group, members of the tennis club, a few of our Gaelic footballers, some parents and parishioners and a team of pupils from the Prayer Group. Our guests will then have a tour of the school, including visits to Primary 1, Primary 5, Primary 7 and the Skill Force team. The visit will conclude with a short presentation on some recent work St Bartholomew’s has been piloting on behalf of the Scottish Government and then our guests will be treated to a well-earned cup of tea and a scone!

The boys and girls are very excited about showcasing their talents and achievements and I have no doubt that they will (as always!) do themselves, their parents and carers and the school proud!
