Changes to the Lunch Menu
Reminder – a letter was sent to all pupils last week to highlight planned changes to the lunch menu due to ongoing building work taking place in the school. Please note cash will be required each day to pay for breakfast or lunch if your child is not in receipt of free school meals. There will not a tuck shop in operation this week. Apologies for any inconvenience this will cause.
What’s on this Week?
Our week ahead is an extremely busy one with Parents Evenings taking place both on Tuesday and Thursday. If you have not already made your appointment online please do so or contact the school to confirm a time. Throughout the week we have an action packed timetable of workshops, presentations, assemblies and prayer services for our MISSION WEEK. Please check your child’s bag for a letter detailing all that will take place this week. The MISSION TEAM will work with classes this week and prepare them for a presentation to share with parents – Wed. Pr. 1 – (2.00pm), Thurs. Pr. 4 – 7 (2.00pm) – all parents and grandparents are invited to come along and share the learning. Please note the team will also set up a stall this week selling pocket money priced goods to support their Mission – i.e rosary beads.
Sponsored Walk
Many thanks to all parents and grandparents who joined us on Friday for our annual sponsored walk. The weather was extremely kind to us and made sure everyone had a great time. We have a lovely walk on our doorstep that gives us great photo opportunities. A huge thank you to everyone who has already handed in their sponsor money. If you have not done so already please arrange to get your child’s sponsor money in as soon as possible.

National Parent Gathering
National Gathering for parents with children in Catholic Schools. Saturday 21st September 2019, 9.30-3pm, St Francis Xavier primary school – Falkirk. Separate programme for children. Lunch will be provided. Places are free but need to be booked by phoning 0141 556 4727
This event is the only national event for parents with children in Catholic schools and aims to support them as the first educators of their children. The day will include activities for children, so that child care is not an obstacle to attending. We hope that the programme will be of interest to all families and will help strengthen the link between Catholic homes, the parish and their schools.
