A Blast from the Past

Many thanks to all the parents who brought along their children for the evening performance of our school concert onThursday evening.  The school community appreciates that it was a big ask and that our younger children were later getting to bed on Thursday night. We thank you for all your support.   We hope you enjoyed Thursday evenings performances, even with our now traditional technical hitch! Below is a slideshow that has captured the magic of the performances from pupils across the school.  We are very fortunate to have so many  wonderfully talented children at St.Augustine’s School.

Blast from the Past

The school delivered a great performance yesterday afternoon at our Golden Jubilee celebratory concert.  It was a real Blast from the Past for the audience as they were taken on a nostalgic trip down memory lane and revisited the sounds of the 60’s,70’s, 80’s, 90’s and noughties. The school will perform once again to a packed house this evening.  Tickets are now sold out.  We will get pictures posted on the blog that capture the talent on display from across the school. Please remember to check the blog.  The children would love to hear your comments from the evening so please post a comment.

School Trim Trail

If you have been dropping off or collecting your child(ren) from school you will see that there are workmen hard at work putting the finishing touches to the latest new addition to our school grounds.  We have a newly installed trim trail that will challenge our younger pupils and a more challenging one for our junior and senior pupils.  We also have a teepee added to our playground area at the front of the school.  An information letter will be issued that details the benefits to health and well being of having such features in our playground.  A rota will be drawn up to ensure all classes get access at set times during the week.  Classes will also get access during P.E. blocks to develop teamwork and resilience.  Please note the information letter will request that you inform the school if you do not wish your child to use this equipment.  The equipment will be ready for use next week.
