Huge thank you to everyone who attended our highly successful Christmas Fair today. We raised a whopping £3100! Heartfelt thanks to our fabulous PTA for the time they spend supporting the school. Well done everyone.

P7 worked in teams today to design and build a car whilst at St Ambrose for a transition visit. Well done everyone for working so well together.
Sumdog Contest
We have entered a contest with Sumdog as part of their raising awareness for homelessness. Please encourage your child to play Sumdog as much as they can over the next 5 days. 
Cross Country Team
Well done to our cross country team who took part in area finals earlier in the week. You did St Augustines proud.
Beauty and the Beast Panto Visit
P4-7 had a fabulous time yesterday at Motherwell Civic for our annual trip to the Panto. Thanks to all our parent helpers who escorted us with our teachers. We hope you had as much fun as we did. We are really in the Christmas spirit now.
P5-7 Awards Assembly
Our assembly on Monday was a busy one. We had visitors from the Homeless Shelter explaining how we can help , particularly at Christmas time. We learned that even if we don’t have a lot we could simply give something small like a packet of biscuits, anything helps.
We were also visited by our local police on the important issue of bullying. We found out it is a crime to be involved in cyber bullying and that if we use our devices inappropriately they could be confiscated. The police told us about how quickly they need to get to emergencies and what we should do if we hear the sirens or see the blue flashing lights.
Huge well done to the pupils recognised this week by their teachers for awards. Keep up the great work boys and girls.
Credit Union
Thank you to everyone who supports our credit union. We are delighted at the growing numbers each week who are saving with us.
Due to visiting the high school on Friday and Panto on Thursday for P7 the next collection will be 5th December.
Eco News
Our Eco Committee have signed up to take part in Switch off Fortnight.
We have decided to run our own campaign during 2-13th December with a focus on reducing energy waste. We have agreed we won’t leave lights on in our classrooms when we are not in and will also close our doors to keep the heat in. Why don’t you take part at home to do your bit to save our world.
WW2 Research
This young lady proudly showed off what she worked on whilst off school on the inset days – she spent time with her mum to share the learning on our topic of WW2. Well done – you are clearly enjoying this topic.
Compliments in P7
This young lady was showered with compliments today by her classmates as part of our learning around mental health. She was described as one of the nicest friends you can have with a golden heart – wow! What lovely things to be said.
