Our Whiteflat pupils enjoyed a brilliant House Reward Party at the Games Hall this afternoon.  Accompanied by Mrs Ferguson, Mrs Watt, Mrs Goudie and Miss Brown our pupils had fun on the bouncy castle, inflatable slide, earth ball, football station and arts and craft activities.

Whiteflat achieved the most house points this session due to their lovely manners, hard working attitudes, helpfulness and kindness and the best lines.  Well done to Captain Sophie for leading such a great team!

Special thanks to the Games Hall Crew – Tommy, Karen and Leeanne – for making our winners party such a success!

We are looking forward to seeing the new S1s next week and hope they are excited about their visit! 

During the induction days teaching staff and senior pupils will be on hand to ensure that they are supervised and supported at all times.

They will need to bring with them next week: 

• A schoolbag and stationery 
• A note of their new PLP and practical class (eg. 1A1- 1P3) 
• Their username and password for logging on to the computers, this is the same one used in the primary school 
• A pair of trainers for P.E.  
• A snack for interval 
• A free school lunch will be available, although you may wish to bring your own packed lunch.

  Our school cafeteria has kindly agreed to provide a free school meal for any pupil who would like to sample what’s on offer, although you may wish to bring your own packed lunch. Please note that our new S1 will have a designated area to eat lunch as a year group and will not be allowed to leave this area at interval or lunch during their two day visit.

  Kind regards

Due to the horrible weather, today’s Sports Day is CANCELLED.
We’re now having our school Sports Day on Monday 20th June at 10.30am at Riverside Park.  Fingers crossed for a dry day!!
Thanks, Mrs Govans

We are still planning to go ahead with our Sports Day tomorrow at 10.30am at Riverside Park.  However, the weather forecast is looking a bit dodgy so a final decision will be made TOMORROW AT 9.00AM.  We will notify you via GLOW and APP if we are going for it or having to cancel our Sports Day due to wet weather.

If we have to cancel our Sports Day tomorrow, our reserve day is Monday 20th June at 10.30am at Riverside Park.

Fingers crossed for a dry day – we’re all organised but can’t control the weather!

Huge thanks to Talbot superstar, and former Catrine PS pupil, Craig McCracken for visiting the school and ECC today with the Scottish Junior Cup.  Our pupils were delighted to pose for photos with the impressive silverware and had loads of questions for Craig.

Auchinleck lassies Mrs Ferguson and Mrs Watt were first in to get their hands on the trophy!

Thanks again, Craig – and well done on another victory!!

What a fantastic day we have had celebrating the Queen’s Jubilee!

We had our very own live band playing this morning while we were busy decorating placemats.  A big thank you to members of the Sanquhar Silver band and friends for keeping us entertained.  The ECC joined us in marching round the playground to show off our majestic crowns and to give some very royal waves. We then finished by standing and listening to the band play the National Anthem.

Our street party lunch was so much fun! We showed off our dance moves and ate delicious party food.  A big thank you to our Catering Team once again for making our lunch so special.

Throughout the day the children took part in different activities. Make sure you have  look on the class blogs to see what they got up to.   We have just loved being able to mix classes again and see our older pupils supporting the younger ones.

A big thank you to all the staff who have worked hard to make the school look special and for organising such a fantastic day!

Have a great holiday weekend.
