We’re now just over a week away from our St Andrew’s Day concert. As mentioned in the November newsletter, our whole school community will celebrate the feast day of our national patron a week tomorrow, Friday 29th November. The day will begin with Mass in St Bartholomew’s Church at 10am; parents and carers are welcome to join us. All pupils are asked to wear a ‘touch of tartan’ on the day and there will be haggis, neeps and tatties on the menu for lunch. In the afternoon, all parents, carers and friends are invited to a special St Andrew’s Day concert at 1.30pm when each class will perform a Scottish poem or song. We even have a piper to kick-off the proceedings! It’s definitely a date worth putting in your diary!
Please remember to return permission slips for the special P4-7 choir being formed for the St Bartholomew’s Church Jubilee Mass. Rehearsals will begin next week.
The prayer group also invite visitors to come to our annual scottish themed coffee afternoon at 1pm before the concert starts. There will be shortbread, clootie dumpling and other scottish treats. All donations will go towards sending money to pay for Christmas dinner for the children in Fr Ben’s school in Uganda.
