Our Confirmandi children received a very special visit today from Bishop Toal and Father Kane in preparation for their sacrament on 26th February. The children got to ask lots of questions and share with the Bishop details of their confirmation saints. A most enjoyable afternoon. Thank you very much for visiting us today.

House Captain Nominees
Primary 7 pupils presented their manifestos today for the new term of office for house captains and vice captains. It was a delight to see how confident our children have become over the last few months as many lacked the confidence to put themselves forward last term. Well done boys and girls we can’t wait to hear who was successful.
HMRC workshop in Primary 7
Primary 7 learned about the work of HMRC and got to decide how to manage a budget. Lots of debating over how funds should be spent. Lets just say there were different opinions!
Assembly Awards
Well done boys and girls who were recognised at assembly today for working hard in class, having a positive attitude and being a good citizen.
Enterprise is the Business at St Augustine’s
The boys and girls of P6 took part in a great workshop today where they started off with £25 and had to use this to buy materials, manufacture a product and make as much profit as possible.
The hall was a hive of activity with the winning team being whoever raised the most money. There was also a prize for the team who worked best together. Successful learners indeed boys and girls. Watch out Alan Sugar.
Burns Day Celebrations in P4/5
Primary 5/6 were celebrating Burns Day on the 25th of January 2018. They learned all about Robert Burns and finished off the day with some Shortbread and Irn-bru.
Lunch Menu for this Week
What’s on This Week?
Sunday was the launch of Catholic Education Week. This year’s theme is Serving the Common Good. Many thanks to the boys and girls who attended Mass this weekend as representatives of the school.
This week is also a focus week for Financial Education. All classes across the school will be learning about the importance of how best to manage their money. We are delighted that staff from HMRC will carry out workshops with classes focusing upon tax and finance. On Monday we will also welcome Enteprise is Business who will work with several classes on developing entrepreneurial skills. Please review your child’s Snapshot Jotters when they are sent home at the end of this week. Your comments are greatly valued.
