A Super Generous Pupil!!

Leave a comment

One of our Pr. 4 pupils generously donated the money she received as gifts on the occasion of her recent First Holy Communion to Mary’s Meals.  Her outstandingly generous gift of £500 ( which equated to £624.75 with Gift Aid)  will mean 45 children will be fed for a whole school year.  Our wonderful Pr. 4 pupil is a perfect example of Faith in Action.  Let’s hope her generous spirit leads us all to reflect and think of how we can think of and support others.  Here is a picture of our Faith Ambassador with Liz from Mary’s Meals.  Liz presented her with a lovely letter and certificate from the charity.  St.Augustine’s is extremely proud of you and lots of children will be well fed this year thanks to your kind and generous deed.

Rotary Young Writer of the Year

Leave a comment

This year our Pr. 7 pupils took part in the Rotary Club’s Young Writer of the Year Award.  One of our very talented pupils won this prestigious title and brought a great deal of success to the school.  She is an accomplished writer and aims to embark upon a literary career in the future.  She won a beautiful crystal bowl and a framed award alongside a cash prize for herself and one for the school.  Most importantly of all she got to read her wonderful story to the school and has surely inspired others to write.  Quite an achievement and a great talent of which we are immensely proud!! Our loss will be St.Ambrose gain when she moves to the High School in August.

Some of our school choir agreed to come along to the Jubilee Service on Sunday and sing the Post Communion Hymn.  Father Kane was delighted to see them and to have them take part in the service lead by Bishop Toal.  Well done girls you did a wonderful job of representing the school.  Many thanks to Mrs.Murray for running our school choir,  they are doing wonderful work!

Summer Fair

Leave a comment

Our Summer Fair was a great success on Saturday thanks to the fabulous efforts of our great PTA.  Many thanks also to the boys and girls who made products to sell at the fair and also to the school  staff who came along to support our school community.  It was a very busy morning with a huge amount of money raised for the school thanks to everyone’s generosity on the day. The PTA have indicated £2,000 was the estimated figure for the day which is an outstanding sum of money. A huge thank you to our PTA who have worked so hard all year to raise funds and shown such a degree of dedication and commitment to our school.  All the money raised throughout the year has enabled the school to subsidise trips, pay for visiting theatre companies, pay for school sports day, Pr. 7 leavers do, yearbook,awards and the ongoing work of developing our school grounds.  That is only a few of their contributions to the life of the school this year, there are so many others.  Please consider joining our  PTA!!! We would love to see you!  Here is our slideshow capturing some highlights of the day!
