Mrs Drummond and our fabulous team attended the finals of Sportshall Athletics on Friday at Ravenscraig to compete against other schools throughout the authority. Unfortunately we didn’t win but were delighted to get so far and to be awarded the Sportmanship Award.

This award was very well deserved. Our boys and girls were a total credit to the school, cheering each other on and congratulating team mates as well and dancing and singing to keep spirits high. Well done everyone we are so proud of you all.

Our Confirmandi children received a very special visit today from Bishop Toal and Father Kane in preparation for their sacrament on 26th February. The children got to ask lots of questions and share with the Bishop details of their confirmation saints. A most enjoyable afternoon. Thank you very much for visiting us today.

Some very lucky pupils got to go and see Celtic play Hearts last night at Parkhead courtesy of the Kano Foundation. From all accounts a fantastic time was had by all. Thank you once again to Joe Bradley for this amazing opportunity.

Primary 7 pupils presented their manifestos today for the new term of office for house captains and vice captains. It was a delight to see how confident our children have become over the last few months as many lacked the confidence to put themselves forward last term. Well done boys and girls we can’t wait to hear who was successful.

Primary 7 learned about the work of HMRC and got to decide how to manage a budget. Lots of debating over how funds should be spent. Lets just say there were different opinions!

The boys and girls of P6 took part in a great workshop today where they started off with £25 and had to use this to buy materials, manufacture a product and make as much profit as possible.

The hall was a hive of activity with the winning team being whoever raised the most money. There was also a prize for the team who worked best together. Successful learners indeed boys and girls. Watch out Alan Sugar.
