ST. AMBROSE PREPARATORY SCHOOL

 

 NEWSLETTER – MAY 2010

 

 

 

CALLING ALL PREP. 3 AND PREP. 4 BOYS

 

Letters have been sent home inviting Prep. 3 and Prep. 4 boys to support the younger children in the school who will be making their first Holy Communion on Saturday 15th May. So far there has been a disappointing response. I appeal to all parents and boys to do everything possible to enable our top juniors to attend the 10.00 a.m. Mass. Our First Holy Communion Mass is the greatest and most important celebration of the school year and we really need your help and support.

 

 

OPEN MORNING

 

All parents are invited to join us for a Prep. School Open Morning on:

 

Wednesday 12th May

 

Existing and prospective parents and families are warmly invited. Doors will open to welcome visitors from 9.30 a.m. and will close at 12.00 noon. This will be an opportunity to see the school at work, to visit classrooms and speak to staff.

 

ALL ARE WELCOME

 

 

NURSERY OPEN MORNING

Visitors will be welcome from 9.30 .am. to 10.15 a.m. (Please contact the school to arrange a day/time.)

 

 

THANK YOU TO SAPA – AGAIN!

 

SAPA (St. Ambrose Parents’ Association) donated £20,000 to the school last year, providing a newly refurbished ICT Room including new carpet, decoration, new furniture and state-of-the-art computers for classes of twenty four. We recently received another very generous donation of almost £6,000, enabling the school to provide magnificent P.E. equipment, including a three metre high fixed-gate climbing frame and new, heavy duty floor mats. We have also been able to purchase two large flat-screen televisions with purpose-built trolleys and DVD players, four digital cameras, a storage shed and a new junior drinking fountain, soon to be installed. ON BEHALF OF ALL THE BOYS, STAFF AND PARENTS A HUGE THANK YOU TO MR. EGAN (Chairman of SAPA) AND THE COMMITTEE FOR ALL YOU DO FOR OUR SCHOOL.

 

NEW COMMITTEE MEMBERS NEEDED

 

The Parents’ Association Committee, under the leadership of Mr. Egan (the Committee Chairman) is continuing to flourish, but a constant flow of new members is required to ensure a healthy future. If you could spare an hour a month for the committee meetings and a little time to help with some of the events, you would be making a wonderful contribution to the school. PLEASE GIVE IT SOME THOUGHT. Mrs. Thorpe will pass your name on if you would like to help in this way.
