Open Evening/Meet the Teacher
Many thanks to all the parents who came out in such large numbers to visit the school on Thursday evening. I hope you found the presentation informative and that it explained the school’s recent journey and the commitment of all to move forward and improve the quality of teaching and learning for all pupils across the school. A copy of the powerpoint is available for those who were unable to attend. Many thanks for the feedback you provided in regard of homework and curriculum rationale. All responses will be collated and reviewed by staff with a view to reviewing our current policies to ensure they have taken account of your views and the views of your child(ren). I hope you enjoyed the opportunity to meet with your child’s teacher, to see their learning environment and discuss their future learning.
Peer Mediation Training
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.

Mass at Carfin
Our Pr7 pupils did an excellent job of representing the school community at Friday’s Year of Mercy Mass at Carfin Grotto.

Our film slide below captures images from a lovely day shared with our fantastic Pr.7 pupils.
House Captain/ Vice Captain Announcement
Congratulations to our successful House Captains and Vice Captains. I am sure they will be fine ambassadors for the school in the months head.
ELECTION FEVER
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!
