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.

Month of the Holy Rosary
October is the month of the Holy Rosary. Please remember to keep praying and growing in love with our faith.
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!
Nursery Newsletter
We are delighted to issue the first St.Augustine’s Nursery Class newsletter. Our fingers are crossed that the adaptations for the new nursery are on track and we can gain access to the new premises in the not too distant future. Exciting times!!
