Congratulations to Phoebe Manson on being the FIRST pupil in Kirkcolm Primary School to achieve a GOLD STAR AWARD. Fantastic achievement Phoebe, congratulations.

The Star awards are our own wee mini Duke of Edinburgh scheme, based on developing and tracking wider achievements.  We hope to  develop the 4 capacities of Curriculum for Excellence (successful learners, effective contributors confident individuals and  responsible citizens) by setting targets for pupils for them to work upon as an optional homework challenge.  They have to achieve the majority of targets in each level before moving up through the levels; bronze, silver then gold.

Phoebe will be presented with a special award at the end of term.  I wonder who will be joining her?
