Parental Engagement Evening – Innovation and Creativity
A reminder we are having an open evening in the school on Tuesday 20th January from 6pm to 7pm. We will be showcasing some of the work being done at various stages across the school this session. Our theme is innovation and creativity. This is a drop-in session where you are able to visit the different bases and speak to some of the children about what they have been doing.
From 7pm -7.30pm, we will also have an information session for P7 parent/carers who are going on the residential in March. Information packs will be given out and sent home with children who’s parents/carers are unable to attend.
We look forward to welcoming you all there.

We would like to thank everyone who has contributed to making this a fantastic term.
