Dear Parents and Carers, We are now well into our final term of the session at St Anthony’s and there are many things to look forward to. Our P1 induction programme starts this Friday, Sports Day will take place in the next few weeks and plans are underway for each class to have an end of year celebration. End of term reports will also be coming your way in June.We look forward to sharing with you, as always, all the great things happening through Seesaw and Twitter. As ever, let us all keep Working Together for Excellence. Kind regards, Shirley May Carr St Anthony's April 2024 Newsletter First Communion On Saturday 20th April, 33 of our P4 pupils received the Sacrament of First Eucharist. This was a wonderful occasion shared with the parish community of St Mary's. All pupils were a credit to themselves, their families and our school. We ask that you continue to pray for these children as they continue on their Journey of Faith. We also pass on our heartfelt thanks to Canon Martin and the parish who supported our boys and girls in their preparation for this Blessed Sacrament.

Buddies Get Together There has been great excitement amongst our P6 pupils. Some have visited Springvale Early Years Centre to meet their buddies. Whilst there, they had a lovely time playing with and leading their buddies in games. We cannot wait until we see our all new P1 pupils at their induction days beginning on Friday 3rd May. Beat the Street As many of you know, we took part in the Beat the Street campaign this year. This initiative encouraged all in our community to get out and travel in a healthy way. We were blown away with the response from our community. As a result, we secured first place for the averages within North Ayrshire Mainland Schools and second for the total for North Ayrshire Mainland schools. We will receive £250 in book vouchers and a trophy to celebrate our great achievement!
