Today is the International Day of Peace. The Faith in Action Group have organised a ‘peace pavement’ art event which will involve all pupils making a footprint prayer card for Syrian Refugees. Donations of £1 would be most welcome, with all proceeds going to SCIAF.

Primary 7 are off to Oban this morning for an action-packed week in Kilbowie. Along with pupils from St Kevin’s and St Augustine’s, the boys and girls will have the opportunity to take part in a whole variety of activities, including kayaking, gorge walking, climbing and mountain biking. I will be travelling up on the bus with the boys and girls, but will return to Glasgow this evening and be back in St Bart’s tomorrow morning. Please can I take this opportunity to thank Mrs McLean and Mrs Smillie for giving so generously of their time to take the children away for the week; it is very much appreciated. Have a super time, Primary 7!
