We are unbelievably proud of Oliver in P3. On Saturday he cycled 15 miles for the virtual kiltwalk in aid of St Vincent’s hospice. What an achievement and for such a good cause!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 
We have made the Inspired Art Exhibition again!!!
Well done to some of our Primary 4 and 5 children who submitted artwork to their teacher during the school closure. Everyone’s artwork is being included in this online event.
We received a lovely congratulations video for the team at the Exhibition.
This year’s theme for P4-7 was ‘Fruit and Vegetables’. Have a look at our gallery below to see our entries.
Of course there are always a few stand out pieces of artwork, and so two of our young artists have been selected to receive a highly commended award. Well done to Mia and Hannah who received this award!!

Mini Vinnies Fun!
Hello everyone, as you will know due to COVID the Mini Vinnies haven’t been able to take place this year. However on Sunday the 7th of February it is the feast of the Blessed Rosalie Rendu, who was a main part in starting up The Society of St Vincent de Paul. I have attached below a powerpoint which tells you all about Rosalie Rendu’s life. She was a caring nun who gave her time and talents to help the poor and sick. I am hoping that during these difficult times we can be inspired by Rosalie Rendu. I would like you to make a little booklet/story of her life talking about how she grew up and all the amazing things she has done to help others.
You do not have to be a Mini Vinnie to take part, anyone is welcome to join our Online Mini Vinnies!
