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

***INFORMATION FOR NEW P1 STARTS***

Children should be at the school gate between 9.50am and 10am where they will be met by their buddy. Their buddy will take them to their line and take them into class with their teacher.

Parents are invited back at 2pm via the main entrance to come into class and see the children and have the opportunity for photographs. You can take your child home at this point.

On Friday 17th August children will start at 9am and be met by their buddy at the school gate.
Children can then be collected at 2.30pm from the gate.

The following week they will start at 9am and can be collected around 2.45pm-2.50pm to avoid the congestion with the whole school.

Children will be ordering lunch from the first day. If there are any allergies please make staff aware of this on Thursday morning.

We look forward to seeing everyone on Thursday!

Well done to all those from our Nursery Class who took part in the sponsored Zumba this morning! Looks like you all had great fun!

As part of the Scottish Attainment Challenge , St John Paul II Primary has been awarded a significant sum of money through the Pupil Equity Fund.

Staff and pupils will be consulted on how best to invest this money in order to improve attainment within our school. Parents are now also invited to offer their suggestions and opinions on how the money could be used.

Well, what can we say?!? Our Drama Club’s performance of “Wish Upon A Star” was nothing short of sensational!!! You’ve worked so hard, and we’re so very proud of each and every one of our amazing stars tonight!!! ⭐️💫⭐️

Ok, currently adding the instructor photos to Glow! Between us all we have over 1000 photos, so I’m not uploading the ones which have already been on our social media sites. These can be accessed via the links on this page, and you don’t need an account to see them. I have set up a new Glow Blog for Kilbowie which does not need a log in. Here is the link to the new blog.

The photos and videos are over 3gb of data, so there’s no way I can get them onto discs for the kids. If you wants all of the photos, and have a pen drive that’s big enough, you can send it in with your child and I’ll copy them on for you. Alternatively, you can save or screenshot from here or Glow.

Thanks

We’ve made it!!! It’s officially the Christmas holidays!!!! 🎉🎄🎅🏻🎄🎉

Thanks to all parents, family and members of the wider community who have supported us throughout the year. It’s very much appreciated.

On behalf of all of the staff, I’d like to wish you a very Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year!!

Thanks to everyone who came along to our Christmas Carol service. It was a lovely chance to stop and think about the true meaning of Christmas. A huge thank you to our P6 pupils and our choir for leading our service so beautifully.

Tomorrow is our Christmas Carol Service, at 11am in the school hall. You are all very welcome to come along and join us in our spiritual preparation for the feast of Christmas.

A reminder that we close for the holidays at 2.30pm on Friday.
