On Thursday morning the school held it’s end of year assembly and recalled many of the school’s achievements this session. This included the school receiving notification that it had successfully renewed it’s status as an ECO SCHOOL. Many thanks to Mrs.Drummond who gathered all the required evidence to support our application. This is a tremendous achievement and a great reward for all the hard work undetaken by everyone across the school. There was also an announcement that the school had achieved the SILVER AWARD from School Sport Scotland. Next year we will be working to achieve the GOLD AWARD after gathering all the evidence required to support our application. We are confident that we are already well on the way to achieving this status. The Rotary Club attended our assembly as invited guests and presented awards to the Pr. 7 pupils who entered the Rotary Club Young Writer of the Year compeition. Our own Kayla Doran was the overall winner of this prestigious award. Father Travers and Sister Eileen were our other invited guests and presented the Pope Francis Faith Awards to our Pr. 7 pupils. Quite an achievement from so many pupils on their faith journey over the last two years. Sister Eileen was presented with a gift from the school and the pupils in recognition of her wonderful service to the school throughout her many years within the Parish. Awards were also presented to the Pr.7’s who made entries to the Scottish Young Design Engineers Competition. Mrs.Elliot presented special awards to some of our outstanding netball players. Awards were also presented for attendance with a huge number of children receiving bronze, silver and gold awards. It was great to see so many childen achieve perfect attendance this year, particulary as we have aimed to improve attendance figures across the school all year. Our House Captains and Vice Captains from West End House came out to accept the trophy for being the Winning House on Sports Day. Unfortunately we did not get an opportunity to present our Curriculum for Excellence Awards as we ran out of time after such a busy assembly packed full of successful stories. Those awards will be presented on Monday. Here are a few highlights from the morning assembly. Many thanks to our dance troupe for closing the assembly.

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!
