Musical Instrument Opportunity
Dear Parent/Guardian,
I am writing to let you know about an opportunity that your son/daughter is now eligible for. Your child has recently had a visit from East Ayrshire Music Service staff who provided a showcase performance on instruments available in your child’s school through the Music Service. If you would like your child to be tested for a musical instrument, please complete the Expression of Interest MS form. The link for this can be found below. We try our best to accommodate as many pupils as possible, however, demand for lessons is very high. Please note that by registering your interest, this does not guarantee your child a space.

Should your child be successful in the trial a further registration form will be issued to allow you to register for lessons and the loan of a musical instrument. For your information the Terms and Conditions of the Music Service can also be found here:
With Thanks
Music Service Manager
JRSO Parking Campaign
Over the last two weeks the JRSO group have been issuing parking tickets with the help of PC Rae who joined them to help make the parking around the school better and safer for all. They designed the tickets to remind those who were parking in the wrong areas that first and foremost they were trying to make it the safest it could be. The JRSOs would like to thank the parents for their co-operation in parking safely in the correct place. It makes it better for everyone in our community.
