Grandparents' morning!

Many of our Primary 7s were delighted to welcome their grandparents to school this morning, for our annual Grandparent's celebration, as part of Catholic Schools Week. It was a great celebration of family and the important role grandparents play in shaping the lives of their grandchildren.

Creating hugs for our community!

Wednesday 24th January

As part of our Catholic Schools Week 2024 celebrations, our pupils have been exploring the importance of sharing love within our community. 

To mark this, pupils used string at the length of their arm-span, as well as their own handprints, to create virtual hugs for their community. Their hand prints were decorated in the theme of their personality. It was an excellent way for the class to mark the love they share for their community!

Poetry for our grandparents- Catholic Schools Week 2024
