Attendance

Please see letter from the local authority that has been sent to all schools explaining changes that are being introduced.

Santa Dash

On Friday 6thDecember the children will be participating in our 2024 Santa Dash. Children are invited to come to school in their own clothes, Christmas themed if they so wish, where they will run around the playground (with Santa) to music and there may even be a little snow that day too! If you can, please share our Just Giving page where the children can be sponsored for the event, all proceeds go to the PFA, providing much needed funding for the school which benefits all the children. Any amount is greatly appreciated, and we know this is one the children’s favourite events of the year. (All the details are in the poster attached) Thank you, Your PFA

November prayer list for the dead

One Halloween, I asked some of the children about why we celebrate that day.  I received several answers, which included ‘warding off evil spirits’.  As Catholics, we do not believe this.  Halloween comes from the old English words – Hallows’ Evening, All Hallows Eve.  The following day is All Saints Day and it seems that as the Christian Church grew it adopted and adapted pagan festivals, such as the Celtic festival of Samhain, and ‘Christianised’ them. In practice, some customs became mixed in popular use and evolved into our modern-day celebrations.  Today, it seems we have adopted some American practices of dressing up in both scary and fancy dress.  For us, I hope our children had fun and lots of sweets.

Each November the Church remembers those who have died.  We pray for their peace and joy in heaven and we pray for strength for ourselves as we mourn.  A form has been sent via ParentApp for you to list family and friends who have died.  As we go through November, we will pray for them all, not by individual name but by intention.

No Parking

Stopping outside school

At drop off and collection, please do not park in front of our neighbours’ driveways.  It is inconsiderate and a hazard. 

Thanks you for your support.

在上落車時，請唔好將車停喺我哋隔籬嘅車道前。  係唔體貼嘅，都係危險嘅。 

感謝您的支持。
