St Bartholomew’s received a lovely gift yesterday which has found a home in our oratory. Liam in Primary 2 and his family made a special trip to Rome last week and brought us back the framed papal blessing pictured below. This is now displayed on the wall as you enter the oratory and is a beautiful reminder that our wee school is part of the worldwide Catholic Church and that Pope Francis is praying daily for all of God’s people across the world… St Bart’s included!

As you know, our Festival of Faith is now only two days away. The children and staff have been busy producing special wall displays for Friday’s event and I thought I would give you a sneak preview of these over the next few days. Today’s displays were produced by Primary 6 and Primary 1.

The Parent Council meets this evening in the Staff Development Base at 6.00pm.

The remaining Primary 4 parent consultations also take place this evening in Mrs O’Neill’s classroom. Please enter by the main door.

Unfortunately, the weather forecast is not looking particularly good for the remainder of the week, so we will need to put our big spring clean on hold. Let’s hope the spring sunshine comes back soon and that yesterday was definitely the last time we’ll see snow until the winter months at the end of the year!!!
