The school community joined the wider parish community in paying our respect to Canon Foley. Children turned out in force on Friday evening and also on Saturday morning to attend both services. St.Augustine’s pupils were resplendent in full school uniform to attend the services and represented the school beautifully. Canon Foley served the school and parish community for over 30 years and will be sorely missed by all. As a community of faith we will continue to keep Canon Foley in our prayers.

A Budding Star
We are delighted to announce that one of our pupils has been chosen to appear alongside David Hasselhoff and The Krankies in the panto ‘Peter Pan’ at Glasgow’s Clyde Auditorium. Our star pupil had to audition for the part of John Darling and secured the part due to his wonderful acting skills. He will appear on stage from 12th December until the 3rd of January. We are very proud of our Pr.6 superstar!!!

Football League
Some of our Pr.7 pupils took part in a football match yesterday at St.Ambrose High School as part of the newly formed Coatbridge Friendship League. They were highly commended for their skill and sportsman like behaviour. Well done team! We are delighted to report they won their first match and we look forward to many more victories in the good name of St.Augustine’s Primary School. As soon as we have a team photograph we will post it on the blog.
Primary 1 Outdoor Learning
Primary one, room one and two, spent the day in the sunshine by doing Woodlands P.E in the morning and Outdoor Learning in the afternoon! They were collecting various woodland items such as; 5 pieces of bark, 4 daisies, 3 stones, 6 leaves etc. each team had a different card, with a different challenge. Children also participated in lots of woodland exercises to keep active and healthy! Have a look at their fab pics!
In the afternoon they worked with their P7 buddies to Build a hut for Percy, some children did a Bug Hunt, and others dug up the vegetables in the garden so that they can begin to plant their winter vegetables next week! A very busy and purposeful learning environment! Percy the Park keeper would be very proud indeed!
