E-Safety
Our Junior children have now all received training on their ASUS machine, following our class launches this month.
All children are now using them well in class!
With this use at home and school it is important
to discuss "E-Safety" with your child.
Please look at the DVD you received from school called "Know It All".

An "E-Safety" assembly was held in school on 10th February 2009.
Look out for further information that your child will receive, following this assembly.

FIRST HOLY COMMUNION
On Saturday 10th May 2008, many of our Year 3 pupils celebrated their First Holy Communion at St Bernadette's Church. This was a wonderful day for the children and their families.
Year 3 invite parents to their assembly in the school hall on Tuesday 24th June at 9am.
Click on Year 3 to see the photographs of the day.
Parents have an 'irreplaceable and inalienable' role in education because of the uniqueness of the loving relationship between parents and children. The family is the seat of love and it is only through knowing that we are loved, and that we are lovable, that we can fully become the person God intends us to be.
