Thank You for Our Spring Fling

Thank you to Galston Parent Council for organising our spring fling discos last night (20th March).

The DJ was great and the children enjoyed the dancing, the games and the colouring.  Combined together, all of these elements meant that the children had a great time.

Thank you to all of the adults who helped out on the night.

 

Congratulations Galston Primary

Well done everyone on the achievement of our Rights Respecting Schools Silver Award!

The Silver Award assessment took place yesterday (19th March) and the representatives from not just the Rights Respecting committee but the pupils, parents and staff gave all of the information to the assessors that they needed and more!  Congratulations to everyone who has helped us get there. Onwards now to Gold!
