Coronavirus – national school closure

The Scottish Government has announced schools across Scotland will close after Friday.

We are working with them to ensure continued support for children and families affected. We will provide more info as soon as we can.

Please follow the council on Twitter @RenCouncil or visit www.renfrewshire.gov.uk/coronavirus for the latest updates. Visit www.nhsinform.scot/coronavirus for health advice.

The government has announced that the response to Coronavirus is moving from ‘Contain’ to ‘Delay’. The advice right now is that schools and nurseries will remain open.

We are continuing to follow national guidance and our school remains open with business as usual. If this changes, we will inform you as soon as possible.

This week we have had a number of reasons to celebrate in our school community and we couldn’t be prouder of our pupils:

Inspired Art Competition

Mrs Kinney accompanied three of our four pupil winners to the Tannahill Centre where this year’s art competition winners have their work on display. They were invited along as VIP guests to the official opening of the exhibition  and to see their fabulous pieces of art on display.  If you are in the area, please pop in and enjoy the exhibition.

Netball Tournament

Huge congratulations to all of our P6 & 7 pupils who have shown commitment to our Netball team this session and enjoying well deserved success in this sport. Their behaviour, presentation and sportsmanship at the tournament on Monday was exemplary. We wish them the very best of luck in the final round next week.

Sacrament of Reconciliation

A huge thank you to Fr Paul and all the staff and families who have worked so hard to prepare the children in P4 for their sacrament journey. Tonight’s service was very special and one they will always remember as they continue on their faith journey.

We have had a very busy week in the run up to the end of our Christmas Term.

After the successful foodbank collection by the Community Heroes group, the House and Vice Captain dropped all the donations to the collection point at St Paul’s. They were really grateful for the donation  and very impressed at the planning and organisation from Mrs Foy and the House of Skye. (Look out for them in the Gazette this week too)

We also enjoyed our last assembly of this decade and celebrated our pupils of the week as well as some birthdays. We heard from pupils throughout the school about the wider achievements including Top goal scorer at Glenvale FC, Best goal at Thorn FC, Cooking and Engineering badges at Scouts, homemade Christmas Crafts, Encouraging our school community to follow by example and recycle First Communion Dresses and also about the best Christmas Lights display in Johnstone (keep your eyes on the Gazette over the next few weeks for an article on that too!)

Finally we had our annual Joint Campus Christmas Carol Concert. We announced the winners of our ‘Together’ logo competition – well done to the winning families and we look forward to seeing the finished design in January. We had a record high attendance at the Carol Concert and we would like to thank each and every one of you for coming and along and supporting it – we hope you enjoyed it as much as our singers did!

Finally, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for your continued suppport and participation in our school community. We wish you all a very merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Just a reminder that school re-opens on Monday 6th January 2020 and we look forward to seeing you all then.

We would like to remind our school community that we have an open invitation to our friends and families to join us tomorrow for  Joint Christmas Carols with our friends in Cochrane Castle.

Doors will open at 1.50pm and we aim to start at 2pm. 

As well as spreading some Christmas cheer with our festive singing, we will also be revealing our new logo for our Joint Campus Value – Together.

Yesterday we had a fabulous visit to the Pavilion Theatre in Glasgow to watch their Christmas Panto – Pinocchio.

We had a fabulous time and are so grateful to the Parent Council who have fully funded this event for our whole school from all their events throughout the year.  They are always looking for new members, opinions and ideas so please consider coming along to one of their meetings in the new year and taking an active part in our school community.

We couldn’t have managed the trip without the support of our staff and parent helpers so a huge thank you to all of them for making this possible.

Today we joined together with our friends in Cochrane Castle to celebrate our Christmas Lunch. Our catering staff put on a fantastic spread with all the trimmings as always. We enjoyed pulling our Christmas crackers and enjoying some Christmas music while our staff and pupils had a chance to eat together.
