RACE NIGHT

The PTA Family Race Night was a huge success on Friday with a full house and lots of families coming out in support of the school and the great efforts of the PTA.   The PTA and school would like to extend a huge thanks to everyone for their support on the night and for their generosity in contributing to PTA funds.  The evening took place in the newly refurbished Church Hall which was a perfect venue.  Our picture gallery gives a flavour of the PTA’s very successful night.  Great work ladies!!

Netball Superstars!!!

IMG_4231 IMG_4235Mrs. Elliott and the whole school are absolutely delighted and extremely proud of our talented netball team who represented the school at the North Lanarkshire Finals that took place today at the Tryst Sports Centre in Cumbernauld.  An outstanding team performance resulted in St.Augustine’s Netball team coming in an astonishing second place overall.  This is a magnificent achievement and the whole team should feel thoroughly proud of themselves.  Mrs. Elliott was beaming from ear to ear on her return and could not praise the team high enough for their commitment and dedication.  She reported that they were all amazing.  Congratulations to Cara for winning Best Player of the Team on the day. A super achievement boys and girls, well done!!!

 

OPEN AFTERNOON

Reminder – our first open afternoon will take place  tomorrow at 1.30pm.  Parents and grandparents are invited to visit classes and to share in the children’s learning experience and find out what happens in their child’s class.  Tea/coffee and refreshments will be available.  We look forward to seeing you tomorrow.

School Grounds Development

Thanks to the wonderful fundraising efforts of our PTA the school can look forward to  the addition of playground markings to assist with play activities for the children at break time.  Last term children wrote persuasive letters requesting changes to the playground and they had lots of great ideas. Below is a picture of the playground before any changes.  Tomorrow we will post a few pictures that reveal what markings are in place and the impact they are having on play at break times.
