✨ Introducing the Sr. Marie Slacke Memorial Cup ✨

We are so pleased to announce a meaningful new award for our annual Prize Giving: The Sr. Marie Slacke Memorial Cup.

Created in loving memory of our beloved late chaplain and dear friend, Sr. Marie Slacke, this trophy honours everything she stood for—kindness, encouragement, and believing in every child’s ability to grow.

Each year, it will be presented to the child who has shown significant progress in their learning, recognising their endeavour, commitment, and determination to always try their best. It celebrates the effort put in, the steps taken forward, and the spirit of learning that meant so much to Sr. Marie.

A wonderful way to keep her memory alive and inspire our whole school community.

P6A FRIENDS Programme Celebration!

Our fantastic P6A class has just completed 9 weeks of the Friends for Life programme with Bolster – and what a journey it has been!

Throughout the programme, pupils have been building their confidence, learning how to cope with stress and fear, developing social skills and improving how they communicate with others. We’ve also seen a real boost in self-esteem, happiness and enthusiasm across the whole class – something we are so proud of!

A huge thank you to Lisa, who has worked so hard with us every week, supported us along the way, and even treated us each session – we are so grateful!

We were delighted to celebrate with a special graduation today – well done to all our amazing pupils.

Eco Club
Another successful group attended Eco Club, where the focus was on developing a love for the outdoors. During the sessions, the pupils worked together to plant seeds, learning about how plants grow and the importance of caring for the environment. They showed great enthusiasm and teamwork as they prepared the soil, planted their seeds, and discussed how to look after them. Each child also had the opportunity to sow their own seeds, giving them a sense of ownership and responsibility as they nurture their very own plant to take home.
Thank you for making this club amazing

🌱 Fun Plant Fact:
Did you know that sunflowers can move to follow the sun? This is called heliotropism! When they are young, the flower heads turn slowly from east to west during the day, tracking the sun’s movement across the sky. At night, they reset to face east again, ready for the next morning! 🌻
