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

We are asking your opinion on School Photography and would like to see what appetite there is for school photographs this year.  We understand that the cost of living is a huge concern for everyone, and we want to make arrangements whilst taking in account of Parents’/Carers’ views.  The survey asks about:

• Frequency of photographs
• Cost and quality
• Preference of photographer
• Types of photographs you are likely to want

Please take a few minutes to complete the survey by clicking HERE.

We are looking to put together a team of volunteers who will be able to support the school from time to time.  Support can be required for things like:

• Class/Group Trips
• Support with local walks (to the library/church/local sites)
• Supporting small groups with learning in Literacy/Numeracy
• Supporting Parent Council Events
• Offering your services in some other way

We know that not everyone is available all of the time due to various commitments, so there is an option to select days and times which suit you best!

Please take a moment to complete and submit the form by clicking HERE.

The first meeting of the Parent Council is planned for Tuesday 6th September at 6pm.  ALL Parents/Carers are very welcome to attend.

For now – we have not cancelled the meeting but this is dependent on what happens with the planned industrial action on 6th/7th/8th September.

If the meeting goes ahead, it will be in person, in the school Dining Hall.

Please come along to support the work of our school and the work of our Parent Council.

All welcome!

We have a selection of garments and accessories which have been donated with our P4 girls in mind.  If your child will be making their First Holy Communion this year, why not pop into the school and take a look at what we have available?

We have a selections of dresses (which come with some accessories) and also some shoes.

The shoes are brand new and the dresses are a mix of pre-owned and brand new.

In the current climate and with pressures on families set to get worse, why not make use of this offer.  It will be treated in the strictest of confidence.

Please email Mr Thomas on enquiries-at-johnpaul@northlan.org.uk or simply pop into reception to see what is on offer.

Please note – we have not had dates confirmed for First Holy Communion yet!

This initiative is running until 16th September in Bellshill.  All welcome to go along.

Please take some time to read the urgent appeal from Mr Thomas about safety on the roads in and around our school grounds.  We must act before someone is seriously injured or worse.  This is everyone’s responsibility.  Please share with others who may drop off and collect your child!
