I had a wonderful first day as acting Head Teacher- St Bartholomew’s pupils are truly the best! Mrs McLean also reported a great day and I know that she thoroughly enjoyed her ‘lunch duty’ experience today. I am sure that Mrs McFarlane will have a very similar experience tomorrow. Mr Young and I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate both Mrs McLean and Mrs McFarlane on their success at Monday’s interview for their Acting Principal Teacher posts, it is very well deserved.

I would also like to congratulate Mr Young on his new post at Headquarters and know that he will make a tremendous contribution to the education of all our young people in North Lanarkshire Council. There will certainly be a few eager little faces on Thursday!

An important date for your diary is Monday the 25th of January as our whole school photograph will take place that day. I know that our boys and girls are always smart and a real credit to parents and carers, although a wee bit of advance warning never goes amiss to give teeth an extra polish for all of those dazzling smiles.

Mrs Bolland 🙂
