St. John Paul II Primary School & Nursery Class, Viewpark

We have been informed on an issue between our App Provider and Apple.

• For now, no new people can sign up for our school App on an apple device.  This is disappointing for our new P1 parents and carers.
• Anyone who previously had the App on an Apple device should still be able to access it.
• Android devices can still add the App and still have the same access.
• The company are working with Apple to resolve the issue.
• We have no timeline for when this will happen.
• We will continue to post things on our App and signpost through the text messaging system and Social Media.
• If you do not have the App, please check social media and our website regularly.  Anything we post on the App is also posted on our website.

Many thanks for your understanding with this.

As a matter of routine and to keep our records up to date, we are asking you to complete the short survey below IF YOU DO NOT WANT YOUR CHILD TO APPEAR in photographs/video on our Social Media or Website.

If you do not complete the form, we will assume that we have your permission.  Only those who do not give permission should complete the form.

Please complete the form by Monday 22nd August 2022.

Thank you for your support with this important matter!

Back to School Info August 2022

Yesterday we had our last Mass together this term, and it was a chance to celebrate a few things together before the end of the school year. Congratulations to our P7 pupils who received their Pope Francis Faith Awards yesterday at Mass. We are so proud of them and the hard work and dedication they have shown over the past two years. Thanks to Miss Byrne and Miss Williamson too!

Our House Captains had one final job yesterday – to pass the torch to our new P7 pupils by presenting them with their P7 ties. They will have big shoes to fill after the excellent example shown this year, but we’re sure they will rise to the challenge!

On behalf of the whole staff, I’d like to thank you all for your amazing support in what has been another challenging year for us all! Thaks also for the kind wishes, cards and gifts which we have received. They are never expected but always appreciated!

To our Pre-School Nursery children and our Primary 7 pupils who have now left us, please remember you leave with our prayers, love and best wishes! We know you will be amazing as you move on to your new adventures!

• Monday will be Chicken Burger, not Cheeseburger.
• Tuesday will be as normal
• Wednesday will be Snack to Go option only, however it will be a mix of sandwiches, wraps and rolls. We are unable to guarantee what will be available. We finish at 1pm on Wednesday, so children may prefer to wait until they go home for lunch that day.

For our last full week of term it’s a Week Three menu.
