I previously  mentioned that we had visitors in the school, Sancta Familia Media, who were very impressed with our wonderful senior pupils. Both Primary 6 and Primary 7 pupils were represented with 5 children from each year group, answering a variety of questions, whilst being filmed.The main focus of the project is the Pope Francis Faith award and the prayer life of the school. All of our pupils, without exception, answered very articulately and gave a great account of the school. They should all be very proud of themselves!

The organisation are visiting 32 schools throughout Scotland, to report on the progress and impact of the Pope Francis Faith award. They were particularly impressed with our beautiful Oratory and all the more, as we are the only Primary school in Scotland with one. The experience of taking part in filming is a very unique opportunity and one that will stay with the children for some time. We are delighted to be in a position to offer such unique and meaningful experiences to our pupils.

Next week ,we are hosting a variety of ‘Developing the Young Workforce’ events in St Bart’s. There is a huge variety of activities and experiences that have  been carefully organised by Mrs McLean. Some of these activities take place in school and some are out with school. The children will learn so much about themselves and others and hopefully, inform future decision making. We will keep you up to date on a daily basis and as always, keep you informed on twitter. A big thank you to the parents and carers who have volunteered their time to help escort the children to a variety of trips out of school.
