Today we listened to a story about the life of St Ninian.
What did you find out about our school Saint?
Just a wee note to say how touched I was with the events surrounding my final day in the school. Thanks for the Gift Card, and in particular thanks for the Book of Memories. It brought a tear to my eye when sifting through it.
I wish you, the staff and the kids at the school every grace and blessing for the future.
In Christ,
Fr Paul.
‘Saint’ Mother Teresa

Our Summer Fair is on Saturday 7th May 10am till 12noon. Pupils were issued a leaflet in school bags this week.
The event needs a large number of volunteers to man the stalls and we really struggle to get people to help. May be you could help for 1 hour or may be 2 hours? Volunteers can be parents, carers, grandparents, aunties/uncles – all family members are welcome to lend a hand. Get in touch via facebook or leave your contact details at the office – WE NEED YOU!
Message from Fundraising/Parent Council
Education is forever changing and it is important that you know the approaches we are currently using in school. Come along and see ‘first hand’ how lessons are delivered. Please remember to return your slip by Friday 5th February to choose the workshops you would like to attend.
This space can also be used for questions, suggestions or your thoughts on our curriculum at St Ninian’s.
What an exciting morning for P1-3 pupils who left their classes to study new skills in the following groups:
Messy Play, First Aid, Thinking Skills, Animal Care, Spanish, Creation Station, Hungry for Success and Music
Look out for the children’s views about Skills Academy in our February newsletter. In the meantime, here are a selection of the photos from today.
