Well done to Mrs Patton and the FSDF organising committee for the very enjoyable Christmas fair on Friday 27th November. The fair was well attended and raised £1443.78 for the school development funds. Thank you to all who attended and to the FSDF and stall holders who participated. The children entertained us with various Christmas songs.

The park and stride scheme has now been going for nearly a term and many thanks to all of you who park up at St. Columbas. Mrs Denton today gave some of the parents who have been distributing the stickers a small present at our final Junior assembly of 2008!
