Pupils Sign Up for The Saltire Awards
The Saltire Awards are the new Scottish awards designed to formally recognise the commitment and contribution of youth volunteering. Supported by the Scottish Government, the Saltire Awards enable young volunteers to record the skills, experience and learning gained through successful volunteering placements in school or provided by local and national voluntary agencies.
Saltire Awards are designed to encourage and enable youth volunteering and dovetail neatly into the four capacities of Curriculum for Excellence as participants will develop their abilities through volunteering to become successful learners, confident individuals, responsible citizens and effective contributors.
Through the website pupils can record and track their hours and learning gained through their volunteering placement so their experiences will always be there when they are needed.
Spanish cooking!
Pupils followed a recipe in Spanish and cooked a delicious “tortilla española”.
MacMillan Coffee morning 28.09.16
We need your help! It’s Macmillan coffee morning time again. This year the coffee morning will take place on the 28th of September 10am-12 noon. To make the morning a success we need cakes and lots of them, baked or faked! Also there will be a bric-a-brac stall and raffle so if you have anything that could be donated it would also be much appreciated.
