New Teaching Appointments
At this time I would like to take this opportunity to inform you that Mrs Halbert has announced her retirement from her post at the end of this term. Mrs Halbert has been a valued member of our team and will be missed by the whole school community.
I am delighted to inform you that we have successfully appointed two new teachers and a Principal Teacher to our school. I am sure you will join me in extending a warm welcome to both teachers Mr Devlin and Mrs Gilmour-McGuire and also to our new Principal Teacher Mrs Milne who will be taking up their posts at various points over the course of the next six weeks.
Please note that classes directly affected by these changes have been individually notified via a class letter this week.

P6 Class Assembly, Tuesday 8th December
The children of P6 are working very hard getting ready for their class assembly and are excited to welcome their guests to come along and watch them perform. Assembly starts at 9.30am and as children are moving around the school preparing to attend assembly we ask that guests wait patiently outside the school building until the children are ready to welcome you to join them at approximately 9.20/9.25am.
Do you want to build a mural…
…Yes! So local artist Gemma Coyle came along and worked with pupils from P4, P5 & P6 and that’s exactly what they did.
The children and Gemma spent time together brainstorming ideas to create our wonderful mural design. It features special landmarks from across Kilmarnock with our school being the centre piece as well as a tree to symbolise growth and development within our school. I’m sure everyone will agree that our children have created a truly amazing masterpiece in both the design and the actual painting of the mural. Well done to everyone involved.
