Y
Silver for Syria
Our Pupil Council have responded to the current crisis involving the refugees from Syria who are looking to find a safe place to live away from war. They are working in partnership with St.Ambrose High School to raise money for refugees through their Silver for Syria Campaign. Children were informed of the campaign at today’s assembly thanks to the presentation from Francesca Marcucilli (Pr.5). Children are asked to donate any silver to make a giant silver heart. We will post pictures to show the progess of the campaign as it unfolds.

Ministerial Visit
Here are a few pictures of Monday afternoon’s visit by Cabinet Secretary for Education and Lifelong Learning, Angela Constance MSP. She visited the wonderful children of Pr.1, Room 2, and their teacher Miss Ross who was delighted to welcome a large group of visitors to her classroom. The children were wonderful hosts and were keen to share their learning with everyone. Well done to the boys and girls of Room 2, you did St.Augustine’s proud!!
Ministerial Visit
The school community were delighted to welcome Cabinet Secretary for Education and Lifelong Learning, Angela Constance MSP to the school this afternoon. She was welcomed at the school entrance by our newly elected House Captains who did a wonderful job of introducing themselves and informing her of their very important positions. On her arrival she met Mrs.Docherty and several other members of the local authority including Chief Executive for Learning and Leisure, Andrew Sutherland. Her planned brief chat extended to thirty minutes with a focus on the National Improvement Framework and the Scottish Attainment Challenge. The school feels very honoured to be involved in such discussions and for the opportunity to contribute to national debate. The Minister visited the Pr.1 pupils in Room 2 and got the opportunity to chat to the children about their learning. The children were a delight and made the Minister smile throughout her visit to the class. Plenty of successful learners and very confident individuals!!
