What’s on this week?
Last week we celebrated our Patronal Feast Day. Pr. 7 represented the school at Mass and the whole school joined the service virtually. In the afternoon children had a movie afternoon as part of school celebrations. As we could not secure M & M productions on Friday the theatre company came to the school on Monday to present Treasure Island to a variety of classes with three performances over the course of the day.
The newsletter will be sent out via groupcall this week as we aim to become a paperless school. If a paper copy is required please contact the school. If the newsletter does not drop into your inbox please contact the school. Newsletter will be sent out on Tuesday.

Pr. 1 Information
We are delighted to welcome a new cohort of Pr. 1 pupils on Monday as they begin their new school career. I am sure as parents you are slightly anxious but also excited for the next stage of your child’s learning journey. We are delighted that you have chosen St.Augustine’s and feel honoured that you and your child will be part of the St.Augustine’s family.
Please note arrangements for the first day at school. Your child’s start time will be 10.00am, however, the infant gates will be open from 9.45 in order that you can enter the school playground and take some photographs before we line up the children and bring them into school. Please do not take offence when we ask you to leave the school grounds. Unfortunately ,we are unable to have any adults in the school building and after Monday no parents are allowed in the school playground at drop off time.
Pick up time will be at 2.45pm. Staff will announce what class are leaving and will request that you either enter the school grounds to pick up or make yourself visible in order that your child can join you.
Please note you are kindly requested to socially distance at the school gates and to wear a face mask at drop off and pick up times.
Parent Letter from Executive Director
Welcome Back!!!
Hello All Parents/Carers,
We are delighted to welcome everyone back to school on Monday and to welcoming our new Pr. 1 cohort. Exciting times!! We hope you enjoyed a lovely summer break with your family and are looking forward to a new school year. We are looking forward to seeing everyone. The school staff have been in the school building for the last few days in preparation for your child’s return to school and can’t wait to meet their new pupils. Information in regard of your child’s new class and their teacher was issued in June. Staff will be on hand in the playground to direct your child to where they will line up with their peers in order that we alleviate any anxieties. Please reassure your child not to worry. Both myself and Mrs.Elliott will be in the playground to assist with any questions. Pr. 2 – 7 are requested to arrive and enter the school using the appropriate gates with Pr. 1, 2 and 3 pupils entering via the infant gates – Zone 1 and 2. Pr. 4 – 7 pupils use the senior gate – Zone 3. School starts for all pupils at 9.00am with the 8.57 bell ringing to indicate that all pupils should be in line ready for morning prayers. Pr. 1 pupils will start their first day of school at 10.00am with pick up time at 2.45pm for Pr. 1 pupils. Room 2 /Pr. 2 pupils will leave at 2.55pm from the infant door. Pr. 2/3 (Rm 7) and Pr. 3 (Rm 8) pupils will also leave from the infant door at 3.00pm. Pr. 4- 7 pupils will leave school at 3.00pm, leaving from either the middle doors or the doors in the top yard and will exit via the senior gate. Please ensure that there is no crowding at the exit gates. Could I kindly request that you have made an arrangement with your child, if picking up your child, about where you will be located so that your child can meet up with you at pick up time. Please use the boundary fence to locate yourself and spread out so that the exit gates are clear for children leaving the premises.
I look forward to seeing everyone on Monday. Please have a good weekend.
Kind Regards
Mrs. C.Docherty
