Month: February 2023

February Update

It has been a busy term so far.  We finally managed to welcome our P7 Pupils and Parents! Our previous efforts had been thwarted by local road closures.  However a great night was had by all exploring the school, sampling learning opportunities and tasting the fabulous food on offer within the school canteen.  Many thanks to parents, pupils and volunteer staff who were able to attend.  Our Senior Phase Football Team plays in the semi final against North West Community Campus on Tuesday afternoon of this week.  Well done to Molly, Ella and Rowan who performed exceptionally well at the Dumfries and Galloway Burns Festival last weekend and placed for a wide range of awards – photos to follow.

We are having a non uniform day on 21 Feb, arranged by the S3 Geography class to raise funds and collect donations for the Turkey and Syrian Earthquake appeal.   The class are busy arranging a coffee morning to support the appeal which will take place on the 4 March – more details to follow.

The pupils February holiday starts tomorrow and pupils are off 22, 23 and 24 Feb.

The school will also be closed to pupils on the 28 February and 1 March due to industrial action.
