Our Primary 7 house captain’s have recently been  given responsibility for monitoring the playground. The boys and girls are delighted with their new responsibility and I am sure that they will readily rise to the challenge. I will keep you up to date with their feedback. They had the opportunity to explain this new role to all of our boys and girls, during assembly on Friday.

The Easter raffle was also drawn during assembly and a wonderful hamper and additional prizes were given to the appropriate winners. Well done boys and girls. Some lucky children had also been awarded pupil of the week, in addition to winning a prize from the raffle- what a great day for them!

Our Lenten Charity event, designing an Easter basket, culminates this Friday, 23 rd March. Boys and girls have been given a cardboard template to cut out and design and a winning entry from each class will be announced during assembly. Children have been asked to donate £1, which will be donated to Missio. This is a wonderful charity and Pope Francis himself is a supporter of this important work. During Lent we are asked, not only to give something up, but also to pray and give to charity. We have been very lucky that Fr James has been celebrating mass for us in the Oratory and look forward to him celebrating mass next Monday, 26th March at 10am. This will be a community event and all of our pupils and staff will take part, in addition to Parishoners who usually attend 10am mass. We look forward to seeing you then.
