Sports Day Highlights

Our Sports Day was a great success with the sun shining and everyone taking part in the traditional races.  A huge thanks to the   mums and dads who entered into the spirit of the day and took part in their own race.  The children loved it!! Thankfully there were no injuries when we had a few parents fall as they raced to the finish line.  Although perhaps there was just a bit a bruised pride!!

A Super Generous Pupil!!

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

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.

Parish Jubilee Mass

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!
