Child Psychology Drop In

Please see the leaflet below for the Child Psychology drop in service.

The child psychology drop-in service is an opportunity for you to see a practitioner and discuss your concerns about your child, without an appointment.

Their aim is to help reduce your distress and to point you in the direction to other help within the area.

Diocese of Paisley Newsletter

Dear parents and guardians,

Once again it is back to school time and we have to say this always led to a big sigh of relief from us! We know our Catholic schools have wonderful and dedicated teachers, but you are fundamental and irreplaceable as your children’s first teachers, especially in faith and love. Whether our children accept our faith themselves depends, most of all, on our example and encouragement; this is clearly shown in recent studies, but it may sound a bit scary! It is a big responsibility but is definitely mission possible! Most of our teaching is done by example, but it is also important that we talk about our faith and pray together as a family. Every small effort we make here will be well rewarded, and although we will often make mistakes or be less than perfect in this mission, we can always ask God for help, and He will make up for our failures. We hope this newsletter will let you know how our Catholic faith is being taught and practised in school and provide help as you teach your children to grow in faith at home.
