Farewell to Mrs Everitt (Year 1) and Mrs Finn (Year 3) - a huge thank you for your contributions to St Augustine's and we wish you all the very best for the future. We are delighted that we will continue to have Mrs Everitt as part of our school community as both a volunteer and a Mum and look forward to seeing you on the gate! Thank you for the difference you have made - you will be missed.
We are delighted to announce that we have appointed Sarah Knott as our new Administration Assistant who will be on the gate and in the office on Fridays from January. You may know Mrs Knott as the wife of the Rector for Saltwood and Hythe and comes with a wealth of experience, including 30 years as a police officer. We know you will give her a warm welcome and enjoy getting to know her.
New website
Thank you for the hugely positive feedback about our new website, found at www.staugsutineshythe.org.uk
Content is still being added; all feedback (including information you couldn't easily find) will be enormously appreciated - please drop me a line here.
Take a look at our class pages here. You'll also find our very own game of Guess Who? here - we all had a whale of a time playing together in Friday's assembly, when the children tried to match each staff member with their primary school photo...
School calendar
Please check the website calendar for all dates for your diary here, including details of class celebration assemblies and masses and our upcoming Reading and Online Safety workshops for parents.
We'll be sharing details in January of how you can synch our website calendar to your phone.
New parent communication app (January 2024)
We will be moving across from Ping to our Marvellous Me app in January, initially as our parent messaging service. Look out for more details in the new year...
Junior Leadership Team
We're very proud of our first ever Year 6 Junior Leadership Team: Holly, Amber, Oscar, Tommy S, Ray and Joey. who have supported school leaders with this term's plans and everything from delivering Christmas cards to sorting the mountain of lost property. Every member of Year 6 will have the opportunity to help lead the school for a term and we are looking forward to working with our new team in Term 3.
Volunteers
Do you, or anyone you know, have a spare hour or two to spare, either once in a while or regularly? Check out our Volunteers vacancies here. You could make such a difference, be part of our happy team, and learn new skills too.
Rotary competitions
Over the Christmas holidays, why not take a look at the Rotary's competitions here? One of our pupils was the national winner for the 2023 Art competition!
First News
To celebrate Non-Fiction November, we have also begun our subscription to First News, which we will receive weekly so that all the children can have a chance to read all about topical issues and interest stories in a child-friendly format.
We pray for William Brown, the seven-year-old boy who tragically lost his life in a traffic accident in Sandgate last week.
