Catholic Education Week
Over the next five days, St.Augustine’s will mark Catholic Education Week. This year’s theme is Jesus Christ – the Way, the Truth and the Life and teachers across the school will be using the specially-produced resources from the Scottish Catholic Education Service. Please can I invite pupils, staff, parents, parishioners and friends to join us in the prayer below for Catholic Education Week throughout the coming days.
What’s on this week?
Last week was a busy time in school with all classes having a focus on National Anti-bullying Week and National Road Safety Week. This week our attention turns to Catholic Education Week. Last week we had the good fortune to celebrate Mass with staff and pupils from St.Ambrose High School and to give thanks for our wonderful Catholic schools. We thank Father Michael for making this possible and Father McGachey for a lovely service. This year’s theme is Jesus Christ – the Way, the Truth and the Life and teachers across the school will be using the specially-produced resources from the Scottish Catholic Education Service.

First Communions
Congratulations to the final group of children who received the Sacrament of Holy Communion this weekend. Our good wishes go to the children and their families who waited a long time to celebrate their child’s First Holy Communion. Many thanks to Father Michael and Deacon David for making the services so special and memorable for all the children. The children were wonderful and a credit to themselves, the school and most importantly to their families.
