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.
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!!
Congratulations to a very large group of award winners at our Wednesday Assembly. Well done boys and girls.
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.
The weather did not put off Pr. 5, 6 and 7 pupils as they took part in a 7 a side football tournament at St.Ambrose High School this week. The report from supervising staff was that the children were all excellent ambassadors. Well done boys and girls.
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.
Congratulations and well done to the boys and girls of Pr.6 & 7 who put on a wonderful show on Wednesday for the whole school and then parents. Their production of ‘Go for Gold’ based on the Olympics was fantastic and showcased the amazing talent we have at St. Augustine’s. A huge thanks to Miss Wilson and Miss Bell for all their hard work preparing the children and for producing the show. Many thanks to mrs. Hanlon, Mrs.Murphy , Mrs. McLean and Mr. O’Dowd for teaching the children the songs. A huge thanks to Mrs. McShane for her artistic talent and her hard work creating the backdrop!! A huge team effort!!
Next week the children will be hard at work putting the finishing touches to the production ‘Go for Gold’. Our Summer show performed by the pupils of Pr.6 and 7 will take place on Wednesday 22nd June at 2.00pm. Children will perform for the school on Tuesday afternoon.
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!
