RNLI poster competition update…
Today is Kippford Lifeboat Open Day. The station is looking forward to welcoming people to Kippford RNLI on Saturday 6th July between 11am and 2pm. You’ll be able to visit the boathouse, enjoy tea and a cake and browse the shop.
The school poster entries are displayed on the station walls. The winner will be notified once the school holidays are over and will be invited along to a station tour, then, to receive their prize.
In the meantime, do pop along to the open day. Weather and operational commitments allowing, they hope to have Kirkcudbright RNLI Lifeboat Station, Workington Lifeboat, Nith Inshore Rescue and HM Coastguard Portling Search and Rescue there too.

End of Term Potted Sports Fun Day
Once the rain stopped on our last day of term, the pupils had great fun moving round a variety of potted sports activities and the chance to use some of our new playground game resources too. Thank you Mrs Gray for organising.

RNLI Fundraiser and Water Safety Talks Event
Thank you all for your wonderful support today. We do not yet know, exactly, the amount raised but we think it will be at least £40. We used 200 coins to write the number 200 and kept adding layers of coins until we had some quite high stacks. This fundraiser was for Kippford Lifeboat and also to mark the 200 year anniversary of the RNLI. Well done everyone. Thank you School Pupil Councillors for organising this and to Kippford RNLI for supplying the stickers. Thank you to local lifeboat volunteer Keith who came to give us water safety talks today. P.S Remember the lifeboat poster competition. To see the details again, read further below the pictures form today. Thank you
For the poster competition for Kippford RNLI, here are the details again:
2024 is the 200th anniversary of the existence of the RNLI. In recognition of this milestone event, Kippford Lifeboat Station will be running a competition for children to design a poster celebrating 200 years of saving lives at sea.
The competition will run until June. All completed entries must be received by Thursday 27th June. The competition is open to any child. There will be three age categories with prizes for first, second and third in each category as follows – 3-4 years, 5-7 years and 8-11 years.
All entries must be A4 size. RNLI and 200 must appear somewhere on the design. Any medium can be used, e.g. pen, pencil, crayon, paint, collage as desired. The child’s name, age, school attended and parental contact number must be clearly displayed on the rear of the poster. Completed entries can be handed into the RNLI shop in Kippford or Dalbeattie Learning Campus for the attention of Mrs Howie.
The posters will be judged by members of the lifeboat crew and winners announced in early July. It is hoped that prizes can be presented to the winning entrants at the Kippford Station Open Day on 6th July.
