Welcome to our school we hope you enjoy our short video of a typical day at St. Marie's

"Leaders and staff enable pupils to shine at St Marie’s Catholic Primary School. Pupils love coming to school and they thrive."

"Their happiness is reflected in their exceptionally positive attitudes to learning. Leaders want pupils to achieve the very best outcomes. They are highly successful in making this happen. Pupils are remarkably well prepared for the next stage in their education."

Prayer for the new Year

Dear Lord,
As we begin our new school year, let us remember that You are always ready to offer us a new
beginning whenever we ask You.
Please help us to use our new beginning to the best of our ability and to remember that You are the
centre of our school.

Welcome

Thank you for bringing the children back to school looking so smart. It was wonderful to see
them return on Tuesday. Nerves soon faded and there were lots of smiles and laughter as the
children met back up with their friends and teachers.
This week we have welcomed some new children and new staff to our school family.

First Holy Commuinion

A beautiful Year 4 First Holy Communion on Saturday 8th June.

We send our congratulations and prayers to all the children from Year 4 who have received the Sacrament for the first time. Sincere thanks to those who have prepared the children so well and to the parents and children themselves.

A heartfelt thank you to the children who sang beautifully in the choir, the staff who helped on the day, Father Joseph for making us all feel very welcome and helping the children understand the importance of the Mass and continuing their faith journey together.

Fundraising

Thank you for your donations for MND Motor Neurone Disease Association in memorial for Rob Burrow and the inspiration to us all that he was.

Thank you for supporting by for wearing Red and white to raise funds for the ongoing important research into MND. Rugby is very important to a lot of families in Wigan and a fantastic celebration of local talent.

COLLECTIVE WORSHIP THEME for next week is “CARE”

Week 7 Easter Season John’s Gospel Key Scripture

“Holy Father protect the people you have given to me”
“Since I have been with them, I have taken CARE of them”

The Gospel this week helps us to understand that there will be difficult times in our lives which we must deal with- just like the Disciples had to deal with Jesus’ death and continuing His mission to spread the Good News that God’s love is for everyone.
