This week we celebrate the 33rd Sunday in Ordinary time.
Dear Parent,
Our next school led Mass at St. Mary’s Church will take place on the Feast of Christ the King, Sunday 24th November, beginning at 11am.
As ever, please do come along and support these Masses which are such an integral part of the Catholic life of our school. Your ongoing
commitment to them is much appreciated.
This morning a large group of family members joined us and the children in Year 1 as they brought to a close our RE theme on Beginnings.
They put across to us the importance of the Sacrament of Baptism superbly. Thank you to the children and the staff involved for their hard
work.
This afternoon our rugby and netball teams travelled to Maesteg to play against St. Mary’s & St. Patrick’s school. We trust that they
enjoyed the experience and had a wonderful afternoon of sport.
On Saturday 23rd November the Entrepreneurship Group who have been meeting on Monday evenings with the support of several staff
members will be running some stalls in the Bridgend Market. They will be selling a range of items that they have made in school, both in
the club and in various classes throughout. Please do pop along to support them at some point during the day if possible. My thanks to
the staff who have given up their time to support the children in order to have this excellent experience.
All of the people who are able to purchase some of our end of season honey should now have been informed. All the names were chosen
at random electronically. We trust that you will very much enjoy the beautiful taste of our honey.
The pattern of our Nativities for this year is once again shown below. Tickets are available from Monday onwards priced at £2.50 each.

Bath on Saturday 30th November, leaving McArthur Glen at
8am and leaving Bath around 5pm. This should be a
wonderful day out, do please come and join us if at all

The Friends are organising an End of term Christmas Disco for
our children on Thursday 19th December. It will run from
6-7.30pm and tickets for it will go on sale in a short while.
The recent Coffee Morning held by the Friends of the school
proved to be very popular and we have had requests to run
additional ones. Therefore the Friends will organise a Coffee
Morning for Thursday 5th December at 9am. Please do come
along and join us. Take advantage of the opportunity to relax
and have a chat for a little while. Your support of this would
be very much appreciated.
Many thanks to all the parents who ensure that their children
who have packed lunches have a balanced meal. This is
something that we teach our children about in school and
therefore we would be very grateful if you could support this by
ensuring that packed lunches are balanced and do not include
too much in the way of sweet and sugary foods. Thank you for
helping our teaching in this area.
A team of our Year 6 pupils are currently preparing for a Spelling
Bee competition to be held at St. Clare’s school on the 28th
November. We wish them all the best and an enjoyable
experience there.
Health & Safety notice: Would all parents please ensure they
do not enter the school grounds on foot through the large gates
at the front of the car park. This presents a significant risk as
these gates are only designed for vehicles entering the car park
area. Instead please ensure you use the small pedestrian gates.
Thanks for your help with this.
