As you can see from the photograph above, we are gold winners! We were visited by Sportscotland, yesterday, who awarded us a gold school sport award. This is in recognition for all of the hard work that staff, pupils ,parents/carers and of course Vikki from NLC Active Sports have contributed over the past year. The award is given on very specific criteria and a wide variety of supporting evidence must be presented to comply with achieving gold standard. Our boys and girls have proven that they are very active in sports related activities and that St Bartholomew’s provide a huge range of sporting activities and opportunities. Well done boys and girls!

I mentioned in yesterday’s blog that I would provide a grand total from the Christmas Fayre. We are delighted to announce that £2429.80 was made from all of the efforts from this annual event. Much appreciation to everyone in the St Bart’s community. This money will be put to very good use in order to enhance the learning experiences of our very well deserving pupils.

A reminder to our Primary 5 parents and carers that  swimming lessons begin today. As always, we will share transport with Townhead Primary to visit the Time Capsule in Coatbridge, where children will take part in both dry sports in addition to swimming lessons. What a wonderful opportunity! Please remember locker money and  both swimming and gym kits.
