To celebrate Red Nose Day 2023 and raise funds for Comic Relief, everyone came to school today dressed in their casual clothes. We even had one pupil who sprayed his hair red to mark the occasion! Official merchandise has been on sale all week to raise further pennies for this very worthwhile cause.

Our House Captains, James and Noah, have also been busy organising our ‘Kirkcolm’s Got Talent’ show over the last few weeks. They held auditions and got everything set up for our show this afternoon, to which parents and friends of the school were invited in return for a small donation. We had a variety of wonderful acts entertaining the audience, including Ivan playing his saxophone, Sally & Phoebe displaying their gymnastics skills, Emilie singing and dancing to George Ezra ‘Green Green Grass’, and Alistair doing a comedy sketch to ‘The Duck Song.’

Former Kirkcolm Headteacher, Mr Harold McCracken, kindly gave up his time to come in and help our House Captains judge the talent show. Despite it being a difficult decision, Ross and Rory were award 3rd place for singing Ed Sheeran ‘Celestial’; Havana was awarded 2nd place for playing the harmonica; and Jack was awarded 1st place for singing U2 ‘With or Without You.’

We raised an amazing total of £151.45 for Comic Relief! A huge well done to all our performers – you are indeed a very talented bunch! – and thank-you to everyone for supporting our charity fundraising.
