Pr.7 Leavers Night
Oh what a night!!! The boys and girls of Pr. 7 enjoyed a fabulous night on Friday thanks to the dedicated group of parents who gave up their time to plan and organise a great night for our wonderful children who loved every minute of the evening!! Thank you ladies for all your great work! Father Kane joined the children at the end of the evening to say a few words, to join everyone in prayer and to oversee the releasing of the balloons!! Quite a send off indeed. Our leavers Mass will take place in the school on Monday at 1.00pm followed by our leavers award ceremony. All parents and grandparents of Pr.7 pupils are welcome to join us for this joyous occasion.
Pr6 & Pr7 Summer Show
Congratulations and well done to the boys and girls of Pr.6 & 7 who put on a wonderful show on Wednesday for the whole school and then parents. Their production of ‘Go for Gold’ based on the Olympics was fantastic and showcased the amazing talent we have at St. Augustine’s. A huge thanks to Miss Wilson and Miss Bell for all their hard work preparing the children and for producing the show. Many thanks to mrs. Hanlon, Mrs.Murphy , Mrs. McLean and Mr. O’Dowd for teaching the children the songs. A huge thanks to Mrs. McShane for her artistic talent and her hard work creating the backdrop!! A huge team effort!!

The school will host an end of term Fun Day on Friday for all pupils. Please note this is a non-uniform day for all pupils.
Reminder
The school will be closed to all pupils for the EU election on Thursday. It will re-open on Friday at 9.00am.
Important Notice
Please note that any child who leaves the school to go home at lunch time will leave the building via the main door and gate so that playground gates remain locked for security purposes. Many thanks for your co-operation in this regard.
Reports
I have had the great pleasure over the last two weeks of reading the wonderful reports that have been written about your children. They clearly identified your child’s successes this year, their involvement in the community life of the school and outlined their increasing skills, knowledge and talents. Well done boys and girls! We aim to have all reports issued on Friday, possibly sooner, and will include notification of your child’s class and teacher for next session
Summer Show
Next week the children will be hard at work putting the finishing touches to the production ‘Go for Gold’. Our Summer show performed by the pupils of Pr.6 and 7 will take place on Wednesday 22nd June at 2.00pm. Children will perform for the school on Tuesday afternoon.
Pr.7 Retreat
Our Primary 7 pupils and excellent school ambassadors left the school campus today to attend their Retreat at St.Augustine’s Parish Centre. They started off the school day with Mass up the stairs in the centre and then took part in a workshop finding out about famous Christians who put their faith into action everyday. Afterwards they got the oportunity to present their findings to their peers. Thanks to the generosity of Father Kane and a contribution from school funds the children then enjoyed a wonderful lunch in Kairos Cafe. The afternoon was led by Father Kane who both inspired and reflected with children upon the qualities we should look to develop in order to grow on our journey of faith and serve others. A truly wonderful day that I am sure will leave a lasting impression on all. The children were totally enthused with their day. Many thanks once again to Father Kane and Miss Robertson from St.Ambrose for working in partnership with the school to plan and deliver a wonderful programme for the children. Faith in Action!!
Happy Father’s Day on Sunday
Primary 5 pupils were busy today making Father’s Day cards! Pupils created their own voucher cards to include in the wallets which can be redeemed for household chores and treats! I did read some interesting ones that included a voucher to obtain full use of the remote. I am sure that will be a most worthwhile and highly valued voucher over the next few weeks while the Euros are on!
