Pr. 6 and 7 NSPCC Workshops
The pupils of Pr. 6 and 7 were involved in workshops lead by the NSPCC and Childline this week to learn about using social media responsibly and sharing images online. Our involvement with the NSPCC is now well established in our school calendar as we aim to continue to raise awareness about safer internet use and cyberbullying. Many thanks to Richard and his team who also delivered at our assemblies last week.
SPORTS DAY ANNOUNCEMENT
Unfortunately due to the poor weather (it was pouring on the 6th June) we had to postpone our sports day. Please note the sports day will take place on Monday 19th June.
Pr. 1- 3 Sports Events will take place place from 10.15.
Pr. 4 – 7 Sports Events will take place from 1.00pm.
There will be an early break that day at 9.45am and lunch will take place from 12.00 – 12.45.
Parents and grandparents will be able to get a seat directly after the morning break and lunchtime break. Children can come to school that day in their sports clothes. Keep all fingers crossed for a rain free day, it’s not too much to ask in June!!
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.
Pr. 1 – 3 Blair Drummond Safari Trip
As you can see from the collection of smiley faces the trip to Blair Drummond Safari Park was a huge success!!!
Pr.4 Retreat
Both Miss Lester and Miss Watt reported that the retreat today for Pr. 4 was a great success giving everyone a chance to reflect and think about how they can reflect gospel values in their day to day life. The children reported that they had a fantastic day. Many thanks to Father Kane for his support and the well planned retreat and the staff of Kairos Cafe for the delicious lunch!!!
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!
Sunflower Tea
Many thanks to all the parents and grandparents who joined us for the Sunflower Tea in aid of St.Andrew’s Hospice. Your generosity was most appreciated and raised £160. A huge thanks to the teachers and pupils of Pr. 1 – 3 who entertained everyone with a selection of songs t get everyone in the mood for Summer. The only thing we lacked on Friday was the elusive summer sun!
