Halloween Parade
The school community was astounded to see so many of our parents and grandparents at our Pr.1 – 3 Halloween Parade. Unfortunately I don’t have possession of the pictures of the day at this time. As soon as I have them we will post a picture gallery of the event. Many thanks to everyone who bought raffle tickets or made a donation to school funds. Your contribution enabled us to add over £400 to school funds which will benefit all children. Many thanks for your great generosity.
Halloween Disco
The boys and girls of the school enjoyed a fantastic night at our Halloween disco. Many thanks to our wonderful PTA for all their great work behind the scenes to get everything organised for the night. The children , staff and school community really appreciate the great support of our PTA. Here is our picture gallery of the night.
A special visitor to the school
In Room 6, the Primary 3/2 children were very lucky to receive a visit from a parent expert who gave a wonderful presentation to the pupils on Town Planning as part of their class IDL theme on “My Town Coatbridge”. A big thank you to Mr Ward for sharing his knowledge and expertise! This has made learning much more enjoyable and meaningful for the pupils. Room 6 will be visiting Summerlee Heritage Centre in November for a workshop based around this theme alongside pupils from Room 7, 8 and 9. This will be a great opportunity to get outdoors into our local area and put learning into a real-life context.
Pope Francis Faith Award
The school and parish were delighted to see such a great turn out of Pr.6 pupils and parents for the enrolment Mass last night. It was truly wonderful to see so many of our children committed to their faith and prepared to become involved in the award and to put their faith into action. We look forward to a very exciting time for our Pope Francis Faith Award candidates.
How beautiful it would be if each of you, every evening, could say: “Today at school, at home, at work, guided by God, I showed a sign of love towards one of my friends, my parents, an older person!”
(Pope Francis, addressing young people, April 2013)

Well done to our footballers!!!
A huge well done is expressed to our football team who played superbly against Carnbroe Primary at St.Ambrose today. Unfortunately they were narrowly defeated after an exciting game. The final score was 4-3 and were extremely unlucky not to get a draw in the end. A huge thank you to Mrs.Redmond for taking on the responsibility of managing our school team. The boys were outstanding representatives of the school and we wish them continued success in their future fixtures. Well done boys!
