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

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! 💙💛

The photographer will be in school on the following days.  Please see below for details of which day individual photographs are being taken and for details of when sibling groups are being taken.  On the allocated day, your child should wear full school uniform.  Alternative arrangements for PE days will be made if there is a clash, with the exception of P7.  P7 have PE on a Thursday with Cardinal Newman High School and this will take place as normal.

Sibling Photographs will only be taken for those who requested them online.

Week 1 menu for lunches this week.

Week three lunch menu this week.

I thought I’d put this up before the NLC email goes out this week! We are on a WEEK ONE menu this coming week. After this we are back on track with NLC.

We are on the WEEK TWO menu this week. This is different to the NLC email that went out today, sorry for any confusion caused.
