Please have a look at the sway attached to see some of the photographs from today.  It was an amazing day, great way to end an amazing year and I just hope that the children had as much fun as we did.  I think it is safe to say we will all sleep well tonight.

Catrine Beach Party 2023 (office.com)

In May we challenged you and your child to walk to raise funds for the ECC. Our aim was to clock up 4 Million steps and we are delighted to announce our total is………

A HUGE 4,025,023 STEPS

That’s the same as walking from Catrine to Greece!

Not only that but we raised the fantastic amount of….

£1,657.70

Thank you to everyone who took part.

On Thursday  our Party will have a Beach theme.

Your child can come dressed for the occasion, if they wish.

There will be games in the morning and at 2pm we plan to have a water fight in the Greenspace.

Collection will be at the normal time. Please enter as usual via the main ECC door, collect your child’s items and make your way to the Greenspace to sign your child out. If you wish to bring dry clothes for your child to travel home in you can use our toilet areas to assist them in changing.

Your child can bring along a water soaker or empty squeezy bottle e.g. old shower gel or fairy liquid bottle.

Some of you will remember in January when we moved back into Newton Street that we asked for your help in designing us a new ECC logo.

We asked children, staff, parent/carers as well as the wider community when they attended our very well attended Open Night on 1st February to be a part of this.

All entries were shared on our electronic platforms for everyone to vote for their favourite.

Votes were counted and verified, which gave us an adult winner and a child winner.

We then decided to take both of these to our East Ayrshire printroom and ask if the dedicated team there could somehow pull parts of both to create a finished product.

So a huge congratulations to MEAH ROY, aged 5 and currently at our ECC and NIAMH SHIRKIE, a former pupil at both the ECC and Primary school, who had the winning designs!

You can see the process we went through below to get to our final design.

How we got to our new Catrine ECC logo design

Child winning entry – by Meah Roy age 5

Adult winning entry – by Niamh Shirkie

Both merged together = our new Catrine ECC Logo

This image will be sent to the nearby printing shops if you wish to purchase our new ECC uniforms for starting back in August.

We can’t wait to see how smart everyone looks on their first day 🙂

Thank you for your continued support

From all at Catrine ECC.
