School Values

The Rights Respecting Schools Committee met today for the first time. We have been looking at our school values. We are looking to make our school values easier to remember. Our committee suggested using the acronym Catrine to do this.

We are looking for some suggestions of values that represent our school and community.

Our Committee suggested:

Caring/ Courage
Ambition/ Achieving

Rights Respecting Schools

Dear Parents/Carers

We are becoming a Unicef UK Rights Respecting School!

Catrine Primary aims to be a school where children’s rights are at the heart of our ethos and culture, to improve well-being and to develop every child’s talents and abilities to their full potential.  As part of this plan we are working towards recognition as a ‘Rights Respecting School’, an award given to schools on behalf of Unicef UK.

We have created a Rights Respecting Schools Committee with pupils from Primary 1 to 7. We had our first meeting today on Wednesday 8th February. We spoke about children’s rights and completed a few activities about our needs and wants.

We found out that you have the right to an education, the right to a name, the right to play and the right to have a safe house/shelter. These rights are based on what a child needs to survive, grow, participate and fulfill their potential.

We really hope that you will be able to support our school on our journey towards becoming a Unicef UK Rights Respecting School. The first goal of our committee is to achieve ‘Bronze’ Accreditation as a Rights Respecting School. We can’t wait to share our journey with you over the next few months.

You can keep up  to date with our progress by clicking the Rights Respecting Schools tab, which can be found at the top of the main blog.

School Library

We are the library committee and we are really hoping to create a library in school.  We desperately need books in good condition to use in the library.  If you have any old books that you have out grown or don’t really like anymore please send them into the school office. Your donations are really appreciated. Lexie B (School Library)
