New Session
Good afternoon.
We hope that you have all had a nice summer break and are looking forward to returning to school on Wednesday 21.08.19. Mrs. Burns and the staff are looking forward to seeing all our current and new pupils.
As we welcome everyone back to school, we ask that all children who are now in Primaries 2-7, line up where they would have done before the holidays. Staff will collect the children and take them to the hall, where they will meet their new teacher.
Our new children in Primary 1 are asked to gather in the infant playground for the starting time of 8.45 a.m, where staff will collect them and take them to class.
Parents of our new Primary 1 children are kindly invited back to school at 2.45 p.m where they will have the opportunity to go to their child’s class, meet the teacher and take some photographs.
Also, the photographer will be in school all day on, Wednesday 21st August 2019 for individual and family photographs. Then again on, Friday 30th August 2019 for class photographs.
