Macmillan Tea and Coffee Morning

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

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.

 

 

Macmillan Tea and Coffee Morning

logoThe school plays host to a coffee/tea morning on Friday at 10 o’clock.  One of our Pr.7 classes have taken on the responsibility of organising this event and are even planning to do some baking.  Donations of cakes on the day would be greatly appreciated.  Our young musicians have gladly accepted a booking to perform whilst you have your tea/coffee and cake.  We hope you can join us.

Parental Engagement Survey

North Lanarkshire Council’s Parental Engagement Strategy is currently being revised.

As well as reviewing the practice since the introduction of the Parental Involvement Act 2006, the revised strategy will draw on schools’ current and intended relationship with parents.

The recently published Education Scotland Act 2016 and the HGIOS4 both contain dedicated sections which emphasise the need for schools and parents to work effectively to enhance pupil progress and school improvement.

North Lanarkshire have created a survey for parents which can be accessed by clicking on the following link (before Friday 30th September).
