The children and staff had an absolutely fantastic time at the Pavilion Theatre pantomime yesterday. The show was jam-packed with amusing story-lines, lively songs, hilarious jokes, stunning special effects, delicious ice cream and lots of general nonsense! Once again, a huge thank you to Mark Millar OBE for funding our special day!
The boys and girls recently took part in a Christmas art competition organised by the Knights of St Columba. I’m delighted to announce that one of our pupils is a winner and that a trophy will be awarded to them at this morning’s assembly by members of the KSC. What a great achievement!
Please remember that tickets are on sale, priced £1, for this coming Wednesday’s P4-7 Christmas concert as well as for the infant Nativity on Wednesday 16th December. Please also remember to order your St Bart’s tea-towel, priced £3… they’re going fast!
Finally, many of you will have noticed the police presence around the school at the end of the day yesterday. This was in response to complaints from concerned members of the public about unsafe and inconsiderate parking around the school, including in the car-park. The police informed me before they left that they had witnessed and spoken to a number of drivers who were in breach of the Highway Code. Although the police’s aim yesterday afternoon was simply to educate and warn car users, they informed me that they will continue to monitor the situation around St Bartholomew’s and, if necessary, take more serious action.
