Head Teacher Update and What’s on this Week?

Leave a comment

This is the final week of a what has been a very long and trying term for everyone.  I am sure if you have been working with your children during lockdown you will appreciate this down time just as much as the children and  school staff.  Once again I would like to extend my sincere thanks on behalf of all staff for all that you did to maintain learning during this last term.  As I have stated on many occasions we are in unprecedented times and find ourselves being challenged in so many ways but your ongoing support has been greatly appreciated throughout.  Holy Week will give us all time to reflect and be thankful for all that we have and for all that the good Lord has bestowed among us.  We are truly grateful for Father Kane’s pastoral support during these trying times and the many visits he has made to the school to speak with children,  offer pastoral support and prayers for pupils, families and staff,  carrying out Confessions and serving Mass for our senior pupils.  We are eternally grateful.

The end of our school week last week was marked by two positive cases within our community and the resultant action that now requires a significant number of children to self isolate.  Can I once again appeal to all parents to drop off and leave in the morning and not stand at the school gates (blocking entrances and requiring children to squeeze past congregating adults ).  There are signs outside the school from NHS Lanarkshire highlighting the need to maintain 2 metre distance and to wear a mask.  Please also abide by the current restrictions that only permit socialising outdoors for a limited number of people.

What’s on this Week?

1 Comment

It was amazing last week to see all our pupils return to the school building  and to find our campus alive with the joyous sound of children at work, rest and play.  I hope you have managed to check our twitter account as there are lots of examples of the amazing work taking place in the school and nursery.  The happy smiling faces that have been captured by teachers gives a perfect snapshot of what is happening each and everyday.  May I take this opportunity to thank you once again for all your endeavours with home schooling as your children really have been a credit to you on their return to school.  They have returned to school with a renewed zest for learning and we will continue to  do all we can to ensure that learning is focused upon revising and consolidating previous work undertaken during lockdown before we move onto new learning.  Please note all homework will be provided via our digital platforms.  During this period of lockdown our children have developed amazing IT skills that we aim to continue to use and develop further.

Please note a letter will be sent out this week to book a teacher/parent reporting session for next week.
