Prom – All S6 pupils

We have a new boutique at St Augustine’s for those struggling to find a prom outfit. We have a load of dresses, shoes, ties and jackets to choose from. The boutique is in the Business Education base and you can come up during lunchtime if you would like to have a look.

Pupils can lease the item(s) for £5 and then return the item(s) to the school after prom night.

Ignite Group

Why is the Christian faith relevant to me? Who actually was Jesus? What does the Bible say about life today?

A new group is meeting, starting during Lent, to discuss the Christian faith and its relevance today. The group will meet every Thursday during lunch time in E4 and is open to all pupils from across all year groups. This week we will be starting to look at how faith impacts our attitudes and the way we treat others. For more information please see Mr Dalgleish or Dr Garside.
