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

Just a reminder that as of tomorrow (7th March) ALL children will finish school at 3pm. We will continue to dismiss the children from their current gate (Main Gate/Dining Hall/Pitch Gate). Please continue to wear a face covering at pick up and drop off times.

Week Three Lunches this week!

Week 2 menu for lunches this week.

Please join us again and send some much needed donations into school for our local Foodbank.  Foodbank Friday takes place on 25th February 2022.  Thank you again for your support!

Here is a fab photo of our Rainbows, Brownies, Guides, and even a Guide leader celebrating World Thinking Day. It was brilliant to see you proudly wearing your uniforms.

Apologies for not posting earlier, but we are on Week One for lunches this week. Thursday (24th) is our “Born in the USA” themed lunch, and I’ve added this menu too!

We are on a week three menu this week, but there is a wee change. Thursday’s red option will be the fish fingers and baby boiled potatoes. Fridays option will remain the same.

SCHOOL PHOTOGRAPHER

Chris McIntyre Photography have been in school Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of this week as you know.  The children were given a sheet with a unique code on it so that you can sign up to view your family photographs.  Photographs have not been uploaded yet!  The form says this.  There will be literally thousands of photographs to edit, and select the perfect ones for you to view.  This takes some time.  As soon as they are available, the photographer will be in touch and we will let you know.

You can still use the code to register so that you are all set up!

Thank you for your co-operation this week with the timetable.  Thanks also to Chris McIntyre Photography for their professionalism and their patience.

FEBRUARY HOLIDAY CLUB 365

Club 365 is open at weekends and school holidays in our communities for primary pupils who are entitled to free school meals.

There is no need to book, children can just turn up on the day. Sessions run from 11.30am to 1.30pm.

And it’s all free.

This weekend, our own school is hosting Club 365 on Saturday 12th, Sunday 13th, Monday 14th and Tuesday 15th February from 11:30am – 1:30pm.  Please note – there will be not provision on Wednesday 16th February as the school is open for Staff INSET Day.

CONGRATULATIONS MR JOHNSTON

I am delighted that Mr Johnston has been appointed as Senior Clerical Assistant in our school office.  He replaces Mrs Morris (big shoes to fill!) but he will do a wonderful job and we know he is the right person for it!  Well done and congratulations.  We will now look to employ a Clerical Assistant to fill the vacancy left by Mr Johnston.

HOLIDAY WEEKEND – The school is closed to pupils on Monday 14th, Tuesday 15th and Wednesday 16th February for the February Holiday.

School re-opens to pupils on Thursday 17th February, with Breakfast Club available as normal from 8:15am.

On Tuesday and Wednesday of this week Bishop Toal visited both St Columba’s and St Gabriel’s Parishes to administer the Sacrament of Confirmation to our Primary 7 pupils. Both of these Masses were wonderful celebrations, and we are so proud of our children, who were fantastic on both nights. We pray that the gifts the Holy Spirit brings will bear fruit in their lives as they continue along their faith journeys. Well done and congratulations to you all! 💙💛
