Here is a sneaky peep at our newly elected House Captains and Vice Captains. As you can see they look really pleased with themselves – and so they should!! They were elected by their classmates and are already fine ambassadors for the school. We are confident they will do a fine job in the months ahead. Well done boys and girls and congratulations!!!
Apologies to all as there are a couple of print errors on our newsletter issued this week.

The staff team are all looking forward to welcoming everyone back to school after our long summer break! We hope you all had a wonderful summer holiday. We are looking forward to welcoming our new Pr. 1 pupils and their parents and getting to know everyone over the coming weeks. School starts for everyone at 9.00am. Our Pr. 1 pupils are asked to go straight into their class with their parents to get some pictures for the family album. Our school day will end at 3.00pm as usual. Our Pr. 1 pupils will leave the building prior to 3.00pm to ease congestion on the first few days.
This afternoon we celebrated Mass in the school to mark the end of 7 years at primary school for our Pr.7 pupils who will leave us on Wednesday. They have been a wonderful group of children whom we have all enjoyed working with over the years. They are all a credit to their families and we wish them every success at high school. Their award ceremony gave recognition for their endeavour, curricular strengths, contributing effectively to the life of the class and the school and being excellent school ambassadors. Take all the good that you have learned and continue to work hard and do your best remembering to always kind to others.
Always remember what St.Augustine said
‘When you truly believe in yourself… You can be anything your heart yearns to be.’
Our last week at school will see us saying goodbye to Miss Ross who will be leaving us for a career break. We hope she does not stay away too long as we are going to miss her hugely next session. Miss Burns will be leaving us to take up a new permanent post at St.Stephen’s Primary. We wish her every success. Miss Mooney (now Mrs.McLean) will take up a post at a school in Cumbernauld. We wish her every success. Next session we will be joined by three new teachers – Mr.Furlong, Miss Ross and Miss Cameron. Due to budget cuts we will be saying goodbye to several members of our outstanding support team. At the moment we do not know where they will be working in August. We will greatly miss all that Mrs.Grant, Ms Byrne, Miss Thomson and Mrs.McShane have contributed to the school over the many years they have worked in the school. To keep any one of these wonderfully outstanding members of the school team would be terrific so we can only hope and pray that we are able to retain the services of at least one of these lovely talented ladies.

To celebrate a highly successful year in Room 3 the boys and girls dressed up and had lots of fun in the ‘selfie booth’.
M & M Productions came along to the school on our Fun Day on Friday to present their adaptation of The Hobbit. The children loved the show as their shouting and laughter could be clearly heard around the school. Many thanks to our fabulous PTA who paid for this lovely end of term treat.
