The school will be taking part in World Book Day.  Children should come to school dressed as a character from a book.  There is no charge for this event.

Good morning,

the pupils will be focusing on the Corporal Works of Mercy during Lent.  Each  group will be carrying out tasks with a particular focus.  Please see the attached table of ideas for each group.  Help or donations for any group will be gratefully received.

 

Thank you for your continued support.

We are currently actively recruiting two advisors to work for the Archdiocese. One primary and the other secondary. These are viewed as high profile jobs with a very important remit to help support our very much valued Catholic schools. They provide a key link with the Church and yourselves to help serve our pupils on their journey through Sacrament preparation, religious education and general spiritual wellbeing. Please, could you advertise this in your school newsletters and maybe suggest any suitable people you are aware of. The details of job descriptions can be found on, www.myjobscotland.com

Our annual Christmas Fayre takes place on Friday 1st of December in the school hall from 11.00 am.

Donations for toy, tombola and home baking stalls can be handed into the school office.  Donations for the Christmas Hamper will also be gratefully received.     All monies raised go to support the children to take part in activities such as pantos and excursions.   We value your continued support and look forward to seeing you on Friday.

Just to remind you that Hidden Giants will be here Tuesday 14th November from 6.00 pm until 7.30 pm.   Come along and learn more about the innovative learning going on in our school!

Thank you for supporting our Shared Spooky Story this morning and for all of the effort that was put into your costumes. It was great fun and helped to raise the importance of reading for enjoyment. The pupils enjoyed sharing a story with their family members and teachers.   The catering staff also entered into the fun.  Well done !

The school will attend Mass at 10 am on Wednesday 1st of November to celebrate the Feast of all Saints.

We are working throughout this session to increase the amount of time we all spend reading for enjoyment.   As part of this focus we are hosting a series of reading events in school.  Just a reminder that the first of these will take place tomorrow from 8.30 am -9.00 am.  Adults and children are being encouraged to come to school in their Hallowe’en costume and bring their favourite scary story to read with the adult in their classroom. There will be books available in the classroom too.  It promises to be a great fun event, so come along and join in. We will be posting photographs of this event on the school blog.
