Congratulations to Mrs. Allison’s wonderful group of Pr.7 pupils who lead,  organised and managed a very successful morning.  The children did a wonderful job of presenting a powerpoint about the role of Macmillan nurses and also presented a very entertaining sketch that gave our talented pupils an opportunity to show off their drama skills.  The variety of cakes on display was a great testament to the very talented bakers we have at St.Augustine’s.  Mary Berry eat your heart out!  The morning raised the astonishing sum of £510.67.  A huge big thank you to everyone for your support on the day and for the mouthwatering cakes.

Primary 7 attended peer mediation training last week where they learned how to become a better friend, developed new skills in effective communication, self-control, problem solving and understanding.   They competed their two day training by acting out scenarios to put their new skills into practice. We look forward to seeing our peer mediators in action.  Our slide show below captures their intensive training sessions.  Well done boys and girls!!

Our Pr7 pupils did an excellent job of representing the school community at Friday’s Year of Mercy Mass at Carfin Grotto. It was a splendid occasion and one to remember as Pr. 7 pupils and secondary pupils from across the Diocese of Motherwell joined together for a concelebrated Holy Mass lead by Bishop Toal. Our film slide below captures images from a lovely day shared with our fantastic Pr.7 pupils.

Congratulations to our successful House Captains and Vice Captains. I am sure they will be fine ambassadors for the school in the months head.

The boys and girls of Pr.7 really demonstrated their skills of persuasion as they presented their speeches and manifestos to their classmates this week. All candidates were eager to demonstrate they had the qualities that would make them ideal House Captains and Vice Captains and that they could be trusted to lead by example and to be ambassadors of the school. Tough decisions. Look out for the announcement in regard of who were successfully elected. It was great to see so many children putting themselves forward for election. Well done boys and girls!
