What’s on this week?

This week it is our Financial Education week with all classes across the school focusing on all things money related.  There are planned visits by HMRC who will deliver workshops in a number of classes during the week.  Pr. 6 will also get involved in an exciting day long workshop called ‘Enterprise is the  Business’  that will also include an invitation to parents to join them at 2.15pm and find out all about the learning that day. Classes will update the blog this week to share their learning. Being money savvy is an important life skill that starts from an early age and we hope that our annual whole school focus will support the children to budget well in the future.

Happy New Year and welcome back

Happy New Year to our whole school community.  We hope you enjoyed a lovely holiday with your family and friends and feel well rested for the year ahead.  We look forward to welcoming everyone back to school on Monday.  Whilst we are sure to see some very tired faces we are confident the children will enjoy being back in the company of their friends.  We are also confident that many parents will enjoy the peace and quiet for a few hours.

Friday HOLIDAY

Thank You!

Many thanks to all parents and grandparents who joined us for the Christmas Nativity and Concert.  We hope you enjoyed seeing the wonderfully talented children of St.Augustine’s school.  You truly have amazing children! A huge thank you to everyone for your generosity in supporting our Christmas Appeals this year. New Beginnings Charity for the Homeless were left speechless when they came to collect your donations.  They said they are immensely grateful to you all and that your donations will make a huge difference to the lives of many.  Our appeal on Friday for donations for Coatbridge Foodbank and the People’s Pantry far exceeded our expectations.  In fact the charities themselves have had to organise bigger transport to collect all the donations that covered our foyer on Friday. Thank you.
