Rag Bag Appeal – Collection 2nd March
Today our Eco committee issued all children with a bag for the Rag Bag Appeal. We are helping raise awareness of textile recycling within our school community.
We are hoping you will all have a clear out and help us collect unwanted wearable clothing, paired shoes, handbags and belts which will be exported to Africa, Asia and Eastern Europe. We cannot accept uniforms, workwear or household items such as bedding, towels etc.
Any suitable donations, no matter how small should be placed in the bag and be dropped off at the school before 2nd March please.
Thank you in advance for supporting this event. Should you require additional bags please contact Mrs Drummond or the office.

Lent
Lent is a preparation for Easter. Throughout Lent we aim to grow closer to God and to profess our faith through acts of kindness and love. We do this through prayer, fasting and almsgiving. During Lent we encourage as many of our pupils to attend the daily Mass at 8.00am in St.Augustine’s Church. Breakfast will be provided in school (or children may bring their own) for those children who have made an extraordinary effort to attend this early morning service.

What’s on this Week?
Last week might have been a short school week but a great deal was packed into our two days. Pr. 2 pupils from Room 3 visited Coatbridge Library, we had a visit from the HOPE team to raise awareness about Autistic Spectrum, Pr. 6 and 7 visited the church in preparation for the Sacrament of Confirmation and staff from St.Ambrose High School visited Pr.7 as part of their ongoing transition work. Our afterschool clubs ran last week with Parkour, Cross Country and Dance with all clubs running at capacity.
The week ahead remains as busy as ever with Pr.6 and 7 preparing for their Confirmation which will take place on Mon. 26th Feb. Please note pictures of all pupils have been placed in church with a request for prayers partners for our Confirmandi pupils.

Thank you to Hope for Autism for visiting the school today to raise awareness on Autism. The boys and girls got to ask questions and even learned some Makaton.
