Our boys and girls have had a brilliant first full week back at school and I am sure that they will all have slept well on Friday evening!

Thank you again for supporting our uniform policy and it really makes such a difference! We are still waiting for our P7 ties and as soon as they arrive in school, they will be distributed to our wonderful Primary 7’s. House Captains have been decided and please see our newsletter for the names of our fantastic boys and girls who will be leading the 4 houses in the school. Huge congratulations to them. They will receive their Captain’s badges during Wednesday’s assembly.

Again, it is wonderful to see our youngest pupils so well supported in the mornings, especially in the first few days of starting school, however, can I ask that all parents to not enter the playground in the mornings please. Thank you in advance for your support with this important request.

Thank you to our parent helpers who supervised our children on the walk to Church to celebrate St Bartholomew’s day at 10 o’clock mass. The children were a credit to us, themselves and their families.  The children thoroughly enjoyed their ice cream’s as part of our St Bartholomew’s day celebrations.

We will be reverting back to weekly mass attendance on a Wednesday mornings and as always, ask for your continued support to supervise children on the walk to and from Church. Thank you in advance.
