Christmas Appeal- 12 Days of Giving
Please see link below for St. Augustine’s Church Christmas Appeal.
https://twitter.com/FrKane/status/1324807615046668291
As a school community we are keen to support Father Michael’s Christmas Appeal, particularly at this most challenging time for many families within our locality. As such we are asking for the following to be sent to the school.
Tins of soups, vegetables, beans, spaghetti, meat, fruit
Pasta and pasta sauce
Rice/Noodles
Biscuits
Sweet Treats
Custard/Rice Pudding
Ready Meals (tins)
Pr. 7 pupils will discuss at the morning assembly how we, as a school community, can respond and keep the momentum going for 12 days.

Charter for Catholic Schools
Catholic Education Week
Over the next five days, St.Augustine’s will mark Catholic Education Week. This year’s theme is Jesus Christ – the Way, the Truth and the Life and teachers across the school will be using the specially-produced resources from the Scottish Catholic Education Service. Please can I invite pupils, staff, parents, parishioners and friends to join us in the prayer below for Catholic Education Week throughout the coming days.
What’s on this week?
Last week was a busy time in school with all classes having a focus on National Anti-bullying Week and National Road Safety Week. This week our attention turns to Catholic Education Week. Last week we had the good fortune to celebrate Mass with staff and pupils from St.Ambrose High School and to give thanks for our wonderful Catholic schools. We thank Father Michael for making this possible and Father McGachey for a lovely service. This year’s theme is Jesus Christ – the Way, the Truth and the Life and teachers across the school will be using the specially-produced resources from the Scottish Catholic Education Service.
