On Friday the eco committee met with Debbie, one of the representatives of Coatbridge Community Orchard. Debbie told us all about the hard work taking place in the west end park and asked us if we would like to get involved planting trees and other fruits and vegetables.

Thank you very much Debbie for coming to see us. We can’t wait to get started. We are going to decide what we can plant in school and perhaps transfer over to the park. We look forward to developing our relationship with you.

Enrolments for children starting Primary 1 in August take place throughout this week.  Appointments are already in the school diary for the week ahead.  Please remember that ALL pupils living within the St.Augustine’s catchment area must register for Primary 1 at the school , even if they will be attending a different school after the summer holidays. Likewise, parents who do not stay in our catchment area but would like their child to come to St Augustine’s must register in their local primary school and make a placing request. Please remember to bring a birth certificate, Council Tax letter and, if available, baptismal certificate when registering your child this week. Thank you.  We look forward to welcoming all our new parents and future Pr.1 pupils to our community of faith and learning.
