Welcome Back!!

It will be wonderful to see everyone return to lessons after a well earned break from school.  Our first term was a challenging one but all children and staff responded marvellously well to all the new protocols and regimes.  Throughout the pandemic we have all had to respond to new restrictions and updated guidance and schools are no different.  We will keep you up to date with any new guidance that impacts upon school life.  Please continue to adhere to all social distancing guidance and wear a face covering when at the school gates/fence.  Please contact the school by phone if you have a query.  The school will get back to you.

As we move into colder weather please ensure your child is wrapped up well for school and outdoor play. Please ensure all garments have your child’s name on it so that they can be returned to the rightful owner.  Jackets and uniforms are costly.

We look forward to working with you all in the term ahead.

Challenge Poverty Week

This week is  Challenge Poverty Week and we are aiming to support the work of St.Augustine’s  Youth SSVP . 
They are proposing to run a food drive for Coatbridge Stay Connected, a group established in St. Augustine’s Parish that has been supporting the community of Coatbridge as well as supporting people all over Lanarkshire and Glasgow. The group began supporting those who were shielding or isolating and have continued on to support those living in food poverty. 

They are asking for our help whilst  providing an initiative for Mini Vinnies to run – by collecting a tin of food from each child in our school one day during Challenge Poverty Week. 

The food collected will be collected by the Youth St Vincent de Paul in the Coatbridge area. This will be collected after school due to the current restrictions. All food collections will be quarantined for 72 hours. 
Please support this very worthwhile and much needed service in our local community and provide your child with a tin to bring to school.  If every child brings along at least one tin or packaged food we should have at least 330 items.  Please support our Bring a Tin to school campaign this week.

First Communions

At the weekend we got to join some of our families as their children received the Sacrament of First Holy Communion.  There were two services on Saturday and one on Sunday. Whilst these services did not take place with a full congregation and all pupils it was just as  special and beautiful.  Many thanks to Father Kane for making the children feel so special on this wonderful occasion.  Congratulations to our Communicants who were amazing showing great poise, reverence and humility.  They really were a credit to our school and most importantly to their families.  Our next First Communions take place on Saturday 7th and Sunday 8th November.

 

Virtual Assembly

Our newly elected House Captains hosted their first Virtual Assembly yesterday where they shared lots of important information and news with the whole school at the same time.  Due to current restrictions we had to be more creative in how we shared all the good things that are happening in our school.

Its safe to say we have complete natural presenters who have a future life on tv! Well done boys and girls you were fantastic!
