East Ayrshire Council is running a ‘Love is…’ campaign all about how we show love during these times! At Catrine Primary we have been working really hard to stick to our bubbles to help keep ourselves, friends and families safe.
Here is a little video!
We are delighted to let you know that our class mugs, that we were selling as a festive fundraiser, have arrived. To ensure they make it home in “one piece” we would prefer if they were collected by an adult from the main entrance. Therefore, if you have ordered a mug you can come to school between 9.30 a.m. – 10.15 a.m. and 2.30 p.m. – 2.55 p.m. on Thursday 3 and Friday 4 December. To keep our children safe, these are the only times you will be able to enter our school grounds. PLEASE NOTE all social distancing guidelines MUST be followed by all visitors to the school (face coverings must be worn). Please bring a bag with you.
We think you will be really happy with the mugs. Thank you for your continued support!
As you may be aware, the Scottish Government plan to launch a new national travel concession scheme to provide free bus travel for young people under the age of 19. They anticipate that legislation to underpin the scheme would be required to be laid in Parliament in early 2021 and the scheme would come into effect later in 2021.
For the next six weeks (until Monday 7th December), Transport Scotland are running a consultation in regards to this scheme to gather information on the most appropriate ways to provide this free travel to best suit young people. They are hoping the consultation will reach as many members of the public as possible, especially to those who will be impacted by the proposals, including children and young people, their parents and carers and people who work with children in a paid or voluntary capacity.
The consultation can be found on https://www.transport.gov.scot/consultation/consultation-on-free-bus-travel-for-people-resident-in-scotland-aged-under-19/
