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!

Summer Fair
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!
