Visit to the Over 50 Club

What a lovely afternoon some of us had the Over 50 club.  We sang Christmas songs and got everyone into the Christmas spirit. We then chatted with the ladies and gentlemen and coloured some pictures and completed crossword puzzles together.

We think everyone enjoyed our visit and we certainly had lots of fun!

Catrine ECC in the spotlight

Catrine ECC’s Depute Manager, Alana Speirs, delivered a wonderful presentation today to an audience of over 90 EAC colleagues, including Headteachers and Heads of ECC from across the authority, the Senior Education Managers and the Head of Education at the Council Chambers in London Road in Kilmarnock.

She was highlighting the educational journey of the ECC which led to them earning national recognition – Scotland’s first Digital Learning ECC accreditation.

Alana detailed the structured programme led by Sherrie Devlin, ELCP, and talked about the drive, professionalism and commitment of all ECC staff members in working towards this whole ECC accreditation.

Alana and Sherrie are now working alongside Education Scotland colleagues to review the Digital Literacy programme of learning to ensure that the Early Years curriculum is well-structured, challenging and innovative.              #TeamCatrine leading the way 🙂
