We are now into month 5 of rewiring. However, the end is finally in sight. There is now some sort of electrical work going on in all of the remaining rooms including the ICT suite, Music Room and oratory. Having spoken to contractors yesterday, I can confirm that the work will be completed by the Christmas holidays. The rewiring has already made a massive difference to both the quality and practicality of the school environment and, once the painters have been in after Christmas, St Bart’s really will be a school building to be proud of!

Pupils will receive their flu vaccination in school today. Children have already been immunised in many schools across North Lanarkshire, so I’m sure today’s vaccinations will run like a well-oiled machine.
