St Vincent's Hospice Visits School

Our pupils invited a member of staff from St. Vincent's Hospice to visit the school to receive a donation  from our school show proceeds at Christmas.  This was presented to her by the P6 Pupil Council Reps as well as "Mary & Joseph" from our school show.  St. Vincent's Hospice is the charity chosen by our P6 pupils this year as their chosen class charity.  We also heard about the hospice movement, the history of the hospice and the varied and useful work the hospice carries out.  Many questions were asked by the pupils and Elaine kindly anwered them all for us.  It takes over £5,000 to keep the hospice running so please support the many initiatives it runs throughout the year, if you possibly can.  We hope to be working with a member of staff from the hospice at our forthcoming Health Day in mid February.
