This morning we had a special assembly to express our good wishes and to say a fond farewell to George, our Lollipop Man, who has served the school for 11 years.  We are sad to say goodbye and thank him for

his excellent support and care for all the boys and girls at St. Augustine’s Primary.  Several classes entertained George with a few Christmas Carols and George duly obliged by presenting awards to the children who received Highly Commended Awards for their entries to the Road Safety Calendar Competition.

Celebrating our Pupil of the Week Awards, our Marvellous Manners and Good Citizen Ambassadors.  Well done boys and girls!!

Our recent partnership work with St.Ambrose High School resulted in presents being purchased for the Syrian families and their children who have recently moved to North Lanarkshire.  Thanks to the generosity of our children during our recent Silver for Syria campaign we were able to give £200 towards the purchase of toys for the children at a party hosted by St.Ambrose.  Mrs. Marcucilli, Principal Teacher of Pupil Support, reported that the children were overwhelmed and so excited to see Santa and gave him a great big hug!  Here is a picture gallery of the Caritas candidate helping with the wrapping process and the party.

Thursday is party time for the pupils of Pr. 4 and 5 with the party getting off to a flying start at 1.00pm.  Our Pr. 6 and 7 party takes place on Friday afternoon.  Pr. 1, 2 and 3 Christmas party takes place on Monday. Please check our blog for pictures of the parties.
