Pope Francis Faith Award

Congratulations to the boys and girls of Pr.6 who attended 10 o’clock Mass to enrol for the Pope Francis Faith Award.  A large group of children presented themselves to participate in the award which will span over two years and will involve the children in actions of faith that will impact upon others both within our school and parish community. A great show of commitment.  We also congratulate our Pr.7 pupils who have committed themselves to become Mini Vinnie’s for our parish.

Sportshall Athletics

Our talented sportstars from Pr.6 and 7 set off on Friday morning to represent the school at the North Lanarkshire Sportshall Athletics Qualifiers.  Our team were magnificent with Mrs.Drummond reporting that the performances were outstanding.  She came back to school without a voice after cheering on our champions all morning.  Mrs.Drummond reported that the children were a real credit to the school.  We look forward to finding out if we have qualified for the finals.  Fantastic work boys and girls.  You were outstanding!!

Pr.4 – 7 Halloween Disco

Check out our slideshow of the Halloween Disco for Pr.4 – 7.  A fabulous night was had by all.  Apologies to  parents for having to wait to pick up their child after the disco but we must ensure every child is picked up from the premises.  Children are not allowed to leave without an adult.  Due to the volume of children and adults we had to stagger everything to ensure we did not become overcrowded and could fully ensure all children were picked up by a parent.  Your understanding and patience in this regard was much appreciated.

Heartstart Training

The school greatly thanks the senior pupils of St.Ambrose and Mrs.Sullivan who came along to the school to teach the children of Pr.6 about how to deal with an unconscious casualty and also how to administer CPR.  It is wonderful to see such excellent partnership working and to welcome former pupils back to the school.

Happy Father’s Day on Sunday

Primary 5 pupils were busy today making Father’s Day cards! Pupils created their own voucher cards to include in the wallets which can be redeemed for household chores and treats!  I did read some interesting ones that included a voucher to obtain full use of the remote.  I am sure that will be a most worthwhile and highly valued voucher over the next few weeks while the Euros are on!
