Don’t forget to come dressed for the weather on Monday as we will be taking our learning outside for the day.
Some showers are predicted so wrap up warm with plenty of layers, including some wellies and a raincoat. Don’t worry if you can’t find your own, we have plenty in school.
Come along to our PAThS Cafe on Thursday morning. You will learn more about PAThS and how it is used in our school as well as a special performance from our Primary 1s.
Tea, coffee and rolls and sausage available!
Another Christmassy day for everyone here at St David’s!
We started with a special Christmas Mass led by Fr Paul before our whole school Christmas Party this afternoon. We even had a special visitor pop in to say hello 👋🎅🏻
Don’t forget we have a slightly early finish at 2.30pm tomorrow. Please come along and join us for our annual Joint Campus Carol Service beforehand at 2pm in the gym hall.
Today we all had an amazing experience at the Pavillion Theatre in Glasgow watching Cinderella. We can’t thank our fantastic Parent Council enough for fundraising throughout the year to make this possible for everyone at St David’s. They have really helped to spread some Christmas cheer in our school community and they can also be held responsible for any renditions of ‘Glesga Shark’ over the holidays 🦈😁
A huge thank you to everyone who donated to our collection for Christmas Jumper Day which will all be donated to St Vincent’s Hospice. Vinnie and Laura have taken our donations away to be counted and we will update you on the total as soon as possible.
Last week all the pupils and staff shared a lovely Christmas Lunch together in the dining hall with our friends in Cochrane Castle. We enjoyed traditional Turkey Dinner with all the trimmings, Steak Pie and a festive vegetarian option too. A great example of our school values in action #community
Primary 1 got a lovely surprise this morning when their elf, Jingle, left them all a stocking to decorate for Christmas. We had lots of fun designing them. It really got us in the mood for our ‘Jingle Bell Mile’ tomorrow at 9.10am. We hope to see you all there 🎄 🎅 ⛄
Primary 1 got a lovely surprise this afternoon when they visited Santa in his grotto. Thankfully he assured us that we are all on the nice list! Thank you to Cochrane Castle Primary for inviting us along and to Santa for our yummy candy canes.
