Fun Fit After School
Parents of the Primary 3 and 4 children who have gained a place at the fun fit after school club, which begins today, will have received a text to confirm their place. The club runs from immediately after school until 4pm.
Dunblane Remembered
Primary 7 children represented Galston Primary at the Dunblane Memorial Service on Friday 13th March. The pupils laid roses during the service and were thoughtful representatives.
Primary 4 Open Afternoon
Primary 4 enjoyed their experience of leading their open afternoon with pupils being the teachers of the various activities at each of the stations. They started with the housekeeping and directions which included where the nearest fire exits were and what to do in the event the alarm sounded to how long they had planned for parents to be at each station, what they were learning and why. All of this took place before the visitors were taken to their starting station and the activities they had designed.
Well done Primary 4

Parent Teacher Appointments
Have you made your parent appointment for the 26th March 2026 yet?
Please make sure you telephone the school office to arrange a time to come and speak to your child’s teacher. See the progress they have made. The children’s work is available to see, both jotter and displayed work. We know the children enjoy showing off what they have done, parents enjoy seeing the progress they have made and so we look forward to seeing you there.
The Book Fair is also available in the hall. We are a cashless school so payment is made via the Book Fair QR code on your phone.
Bikeability
Mrs Fairbairn has completed a Bikeability Instructor training course with Cycling Scotland. We are hoping to run Level 1 for our P6 year group in Term 4 when the better weather arrives, in conjunction with Active Schools and Bikeability Scotland.
Within Level 1 – Riders learn how to prepare for a journey, check their bike and equipment are safe, and develop control skills, good observations and decision making. They also learn the importance of sharing space responsibly with other people. Training is completed in a traffic free setting.

As the ratio of adults to learners is set at a strict 1:15 for rider safety we would like to gauge interest in such a course to allow us to timetable sessions in the playground to accommodate P6 cyclists.
