Rugby Festival

Our Pr.4 – 7 pupils were invited to a Rugby Festival on Monday 7th at the Waysiders Rugby Club in Drumpellier. The children returned to school full of energy and enthused about their morning. They gave it a resounding 10 out of 10. The event was very well organised and accommodated the 180 pupils who attended from St.Augustine’s. A huge big thank you to everyone at the Rugby club for hosting such an event. We hope you to make a return visit soon.

Pr.7 Trip

Our Pr.7 pupils enjoyed a fabulous trip on Tuesday to the Ski Centre and then off to the swimming at the Time Capsule. The boys and girls voted on their favoured destination for a school trip and this was the unanimous vote as this has always been a traditional visit by Pr.7 pupils. Both Mrs. Murphy and Mrs.Hanlon congratulated the children on their exemplary behaviour on the day. Well done boys and girls.

Room 15 and 16 and their Health Week Update

Rooms 15 and 16 have been busy this week with a wide variety of activities that took place around our Health themed week. They had a visit from SSPCA and Alcohol Awareness. They also enjoyed a highly informative workshop from Child-Line. They were kept active with a programme of activities that involved playing football, bubble football, cricket and self defence classes. Let’s hope the strong messages that were presented all week have left a long and lasting impression.

Artists at Work in Pr.7

Our Pr.7 pupils in Mrs.Murphy’s class have been busy at work creating beautiful pieces of art for our Sunflower Tea next Friday in aid of St.Andrew’s Hospice. Our Pr.1 – 3 pupils are also busy learning songs and poems to entertain our guests in the morning. We look forward to seeing our parents at this lovely event which we hope will be a feature in our school calendar.

Election Fever

It was great to see our senior pupils becoming involved in politics the day after the election. As I made my way around school on Friday I stumbled upon heated debates taking place between Labour candidates and SNP candidates in Pr.7, Room 16. It was evident from the quality of the conversations and interviews taking place that the children had shown a great interest in the recent election and could talk quite confidently about manifesto pledges. Impressive work indeed boys and girls. Politicians of the future!!
