Open Evening/Meet the Teacher

Leave a comment

Many thanks to all the parents who came out in such large numbers to visit the school on Thursday evening.  I hope you found  the presentation informative and that it explained the school’s recent journey and the commitment of all to  move forward and improve the quality of teaching and learning for all pupils across the school.  A copy of the powerpoint is available for those who were unable to attend.  Many thanks for the feedback you provided in regard of homework and curriculum rationale.  All responses will be collated and reviewed by staff with a view to reviewing our current policies to ensure they have taken account of your views and the views of your child(ren).  I hope you enjoyed the opportunity to meet with your child’s teacher,  to see their learning environment and discuss their future learning.

Open evening – Powerpoint presentation

Peer Mediation Training

Leave a comment

Primary 7 attended peer mediation training last week where they learned how to become a better friend, developed new skills in effective communication, self-control, problem solving and understanding.   They competed their two day training by acting out scenarios to put their new skills into practice. We look forward to seeing our peer mediators in action.  Our slide show below captures their intensive training sessions.  Well done boys and girls!!

Mass at Carfin

Leave a comment

Our Pr7 pupils did an excellent job of representing the school community at Friday’s Year of Mercy Mass at Carfin Grotto. It was a splendid occasion and one to remember as Pr. 7 pupils and secondary pupils from across the Diocese of Motherwell joined together for a concelebrated Holy Mass lead by Bishop Toal. Our film slide below captures images from a lovely day shared with our fantastic Pr.7 pupils.
