The boys and girls of Pr.7 will be working with Albion Rovers coach Tony McMin on a programme that will focus upon developing a growth mindset and football skills. The programme will involve six lessons over the next few weeks. We look forward to hearing the children’s evaluation of the programme in six weeks time. Here is a slideshow from their first afternoon.

Please remember that ALL pupils living within the St.Augustine’s catchment area must register for Primary 1 at the school , even if they will be attending a different school after the summer holidays. Likewise, parents who do not stay in our catchment area but would like their child to come to St Augustine’s must register in their local primary school and make a placing request. Please remember to bring a birth certificate, Council Tax letter and, if available, baptismal certificate when registering your child this week. Thank you.

Anti-Bullying Workshop and Play
Our Pr.7 pupils were involved in anti-bullying workshop on Tuesday. They then presented a play to the whole school in the afternoon with a powerful message about bullying behaviour and it’s impact on victims. Their play also featured scenes that included the impact of cyber-bullying. You really couldn’t hear a pin drop in the hall as this powerful message was so perfectly shared. A short question and answer session at the end really illustrated how well the children had inderstood the great work of Pr.7. Excellent work boys and girls. You were a real credit to the school.
Happy New Year
A warm welcome is extended to our school community for the start of 2017 and a new school term. This term will be an extremely busy term at school as we welcome visits by HMI and the authority.
