part in the Primary School Country Tennis
finals. They played extremely well and came

Uniform
All parents should have received a
pamphlet regarding East Renfrewshire's newly
adopted policy on school uniform. We have an
excellent record here at Our Lady of the
Missions regarding our school ethos and
strong identity in the local community. This
is strengthened by the fact that all pupils
are proud to be associated with he school
and wear full school uniform. |
