As part of our whole school approach to developing the young workforce the school, in partnership with the Parent Council, will host a Career’s Fair tomorrow afternoon building upon the success of last year.  Classes from Pr. 3 – 7 will visit the various contributors to talk about their profession and how they began their career.  Children will want to find out if they always wanted to get a job in that field and what particular skills are required to be successful.  We hope the contributors are prepared for all the questions that will come their way tomorow.  The fair will also be opne to parents and pupils from 3 – 4pm tomorrow.

On Sunday we celebrate as a community of faith and learning with our Pr. 4 pupils from Miss Watt’s class as they receive the Sacrament of First Holy Communion.  Please keep the boys and girls and their families in your prayers this weekend.

Our week ahead is extremely busy with events taking place around our world of work week.  On Wednesday we have our Careers Fair for classes to visit in the afternoon.  Our exhibitors will remain in school from 3 – 4 so parents and grandparents can pop into the hall to see what we have all been up to.  Many thanks already to the parents who have responded to our request and have agreed to come along to the Careers Fair and talk about their businesses and jobs.  We are sure the children will have plenty of questions.  On Thursday we welcome our new entrants to the school for the first of their Induction afternoons.  We are all looking forward to welcomng both children and parents to our community of faith and learning.

Today we hosted our annual Open Afternoon and invited parents and grandparents to join classes and to experience the learning taking place across the school.  Parents reported they enjoyed the opportunity to visit their child’s class and to see them in their learning environment.  The parents with more than one child at the school had a busier afternoon than most as they had several classes to visit and more than one child to keep happy! Our Art exhibition was a great success with 50% of the artwork bought already.  Parents have until the 18th May to purchase their child’s work if they wish.  Please contact the school office to arrange if wishing to make a purchase. Above are a few highlights of the afternoon.

The eco committee have been busy planning their next areas of action. They have agreed litter needs to be a focus as well as greater recycling across the school. At their next meeting they are going to plant seeds to make our garden look nice and hopefully transfer some of the plants we grow to the community orchard.
