Well done to this week’s Ruby Reward winners, for being excellent pupils in our dinner hall.
New App to download for EA Leisure
In April Active Schools make the move from EAC Vibrant Communities over to East Ayrshire Leisure Trust.
Most will remain the same but some things will change, one of which is how we promote and sign up for holiday programs starting this Easter.
We will be doing this sign up via the EAL app. New app details below.
Home Circles @ February 2025
In our Home Circles on Tuesday we focused on Article 29 of the UN Convention of the Rights of the Child.
Article 29 states that ‘a child or young person’s education should help their mind, body and talents be the best they can. It should also build their respect for other people and the world around them. ‘
The BIG questions our pupils answered were …
- Why is it important that we come to school?
- What would an excellent school look, feel and sound like?
As always, our wonderful Home Circles came up with some insightful and thoughtful answers. Read them below …
We also focused on our CATRINE Value of Nurture.
