Good evening all!
There is a lovely atmosphere in school today in preparation for the annual school Christmas Market Day, tomorrow. Organised by the Business Department it will feature crafts and goods designed, made, packaged and marketed by students from all years. They manage to inject a bit, alot of festive magic on the day and they would love to invite you along if you can make it. Teas and coffees will be served to parents and guardians on the day.
Christmas Crafts workshop
We will be running a christmas themed workshop next Wednesday 3rd of December from 11am onwards. We will supply the crafts and materials. We have designed it so it wont be too hard and that you can enjoy being creative bringing home your decorations after. I set up a google doc but I am afraid it isn’t working, so you just text me if you would like to join in with the fun. You can text me at 0861857703 . I will send a survey on whatsApp if you would like to register there.

The LCA students are running the annual Mercy College Christmas Food appeal this year with their teacher, Mr Lumsden.Parents it would be great if you could add in the odd extra treat to your grocery shop, that you would be willing to donate to our collection. Each class is being assigned different items. The two for one deals are worth looking out for in the shops. Non perishable goods only please. There will be a prize to the class that brings in the most items. And remember it is in giving that we receive. Thank you !
