These wonderful ambassadors have taken it upon themselves to reduce the litter in the yard. They patrol at break and lunch and encourage people to put their litter in the bin. They have taken their position very seriously and are a great example to follow. Well done everyone.

Monthly Awards Assembly
Our whole school assembly was a great opportunity to share the successful month we had here at St Augustine’s. We kicked things off today with our dance troupe sharing their dance in front of the whole school.
After we all congratulated their efforts our house captains shared all our important announcements and awarded our maths, literacy and artists of the month. Well done to our award winners.
Primary 1 – 3 Awards Assembly
Mrs Elliott was delighted with the awards given at her weekly assembly over the last two weeks. As you can see our award winners are pleased that their hard work, positive attitude and being a great example to others is being recognised. Well done boys and girls keep up the great work!
Government Consultation

This consultation is asking for views on how best to take forward powers to better meet the needs of children and families in Scotland. Welfare Foods includes the current UK Healthy Start Vouchers and Nursery Milk Scheme. Closing date is 28th June 2018
