A Thuisti,
Confirmation
A big congratulations to the pupils in 6th class who received their Confirmation on Sunday. It was a lovely occasion and the children showed great maturity on the day. They were a credit to their families and to the school. We hope everyone enjoyed the celebrations afterwards. A lot of preparation and teamwork goes into the Confirmation. Thanks to Ms. Reynolds for preparing the children so well for their big day. Thanks to Mrs Vaughan for organising the choir. This was a big undertaking as this was the first time only one school was singing in the choir. The children sang beautifully and we thank everyone who gave of their time for practices and for coming to the Confirmation on Sunday. It was lovely to see some past pupils (Jack, Meadow and Faith) also singing in the choir. It really added to the occasion. We also thank the parents/guardians and our Parents’ Association for the huge spread of food in Skryne Hall afterwards and for stewarding of the car park (Shane). Thanks to Shane/ Caroline for all their work with the ‘Guardian of Light’ art. Finally a big thanks to Helen for organising the Confirmation Booklet.
Safer Internet Day (SID)
Tomorrow is Safer Internet Day. The aim of SID is to promote safer and more responsible use of online technology and mobile phones. We will continue to promote the safer and responsible use of technology in school. Parents/guardians have a central role in this also.
