The pupils have arrived at school ready for the new session looking very smart in their new uniforms which they wear with pride. They have settled well into their new classes  and we are looking forward to a busy, exciting year ahead.  

Well done to our six former pupils who attained 7 As at National 5 at St. John Ogilvie High School!

Wishing our former pupils every success at high school, pictured below at their Leavers’ Dinner.

Congratulations to Rocco Vata and Jude Bonar, Primary 7, for excellence in their outstanding performance in the school football team this year and gaining a place at St. Ninian’s High School, Football Youth Academy. The boys were presented with certificates at the South Lanarkshire Awards Ceremony in the Hamilton Town Hall.

Parents, grandparents and families were delighted to attend the annual celebration of the Singing Club, led by Mrs Alison McGrory and supported by Mrs Heather Quigley, both parents. The pupils from Primary 4 to Primary 7 impressed the audience with their fabulous singing. Cadia Jaconnelli, Primary 7, introduced a range of songs including Rise Up by Andra Day, Golden Slumber from the movie Sing, My love is like a Red Red Rose by Robert Burns and A Life that’s Good from the TV series Nashville…all favourites.

We were particularly delighted this year to be joined by guests of honour, Jacqueline and Christopher Lomoljo whose daughter Ana Maria is in Primary 2.

The Singing Club highlighted the condition of Sepsis which had had a huge impact on the family this year     and the children chose to send all donations to Sepsis Trust UK.

The Singing Club were delighted when a real life Christmas Carol attended their last singing club session of the year. For Carol Laula, one of Scotland’s top recording artists dropped by to give the keen P4 – P7 singers some hints and tips.

Friends, families and guests gathered to mark the official opening of our £7 million school.

Headteacher, Caroline Campbell said, “At St. Mark’s we do our best to equip children well for the future; we celebrate individuality and make sure our learners can work independently and as part of a team, with excellent communication skills.

I know our pupils will make a difference to the future of Scotland and our job here is to ensure that each pupil grows to be all they can be.”
