Lenten Charity Appeal

At our whole school assembly last week we were joined by Martin Mann, a representative from MISSIO, who spoke to the children about the great work of MISSIO. This will be our main charity during Lent with all classes involved in fundraising.  Children have MISSIO boxes in their classrooms to collect any spare change  to compete with houses in order to see which house can collect the most money during Lent. This week our Pupil Council are running a number of events and competitions at a cost of 50p each that are linked to our Literacy Week and World Book Day on Thursday.

What’s on this Week?

Father Kane has very kindly agreed to come to the school throughout Lent to serve Mass to our Pr. 5 – 7 pupils.  Parents and grandparents are invited to join their child’s class for the service.  Dates and times are noted below and will also feature in a separate post.  This week our school community commences its fundraising for MISSIO and will also launch our Confirmandi projects for Mary’s Meals.

What’s on this Week?

Last week was our financial education week. We enjoyed visits by Money Adivce Scotland and HMRC.  North Lanarkshire’s Financial Inclusion Team also visited the school a few weeks ago. We are confident the children have a much more informed knowledge about how to manage money and just how challenging it must be to manage the family budget. We are quite sure Money Saving Expert, Martin Lewis, would be most impressed with the work undertaken across the school to teach necessary life skills.  Our twitter page also has lots of featured news about the wonderful learning that took place last week. Please check our twitter page.  This week we will have a focus on Safer Internet.  Classes across the school will focus upon teacing children about how to stay safe online – another important life skill.  This week we will also receive a visit from NSPCC who will deliver assemblies and carry out workshops with Pr. 6 and 7 pupils. Another busy week at St.Augustine’s!!
