Vickie, our Active Schools Co-ordinator, will be meeting Mrs McIntyre today to kick-start plans for this year’s programme of after school clubs. A variety of clubs will run throughout the year, many of them made possible by the generosity and commitment of St Bart’s class teachers, so please encourage your child to make the most of all the opportunities that will come their way in 2016/17.

Tomorrow is the feast of our school patron, St Bartholomew, and all parents and carers are very welcome to join our school community for Mass in St Bartholomew’s Church at 10.00am.

Finally today, a reminder of some wise words of Pope Francis which are displayed on the wall of our gym hall. Even for us who are not so young, they’re still worth reflecting on!
