Our school grounds were are an extremely busy place as classes across the school took advantage of the good weather and got outside for outdoor learning day.  Here are a few highlights showing Pr. 1,2 and 7 making use of our school grounds and carrying out some excellent teamwork.

Many thanks to all the contributors who gave up their time and came along today to support our second Careers Fair.  It was a resounding success thanks to their commitment and enthusiasm.  We really could not have done it without such dedicated supporters of the school.  Our contributors provided the children with the opportunity to learn about a wide array of professions such as acting, printing,  aircraft engineering, science,  optometry, pharmacy, karate, banking, software engineering, dental science, biology, trucking/transport, quantity surveying, real estate, environmental health, health promotion and teaching. It was great to see the children so engaged and eager to ask lots of questions.  Our afternoon was a great success with many thanks to our Parent Council for their support in organising the event.  Here are a few highlights.

The school was delighted to receive a very special statue of Our Lady of Fatima this week.  The statue visited classes for prayer sessions and also provided an opportunity for children to learn about the apparition of our Lady at Fatima and the recent canonizations.

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.
