Staffing Changes

Catrine ECC – changes to staffing

Our Depute Manager, Alana Speirs, has been given the amazing opportunity of being Head of Centre at Darvel ECC from August to October 2026.

We are so upset that she’s leaving us for a wee while even though we’re pleased for her in her new role. We’ll let you know the new management details in August 2026 for the children returning. Alana leaves us with the ECC being wonderfully organised and ready for the new term.  We wish her all the luck in the world and look forward to welcoming her back!

Thank you for your Donation

Thank you to Nicola & Bridge Between who have kindly donated £148.50 to Catrine PS.

This kind donation will be used to purchase Physical Education clothing like shorts and indoor gym shoes, which the whole school will benefit from.

Thank you Nicola for selecting Catrine Primary School.

Summer Trip – Warm Weather

Weather forecast for tomorrow is warm & sunny.

Can you please ensure that your child has water with them.

I have checked with Heads of Ayr and water bottles can be filled up when in the park.

Please also apply suncream and maybe wear a sun hat and sunglasses.

If your child is prone to hayfever, please administer medication before they come to school.

Thank you

Sports Day Up Date

Catrine PS – Sports Day
Unfortunately, the weather forecast for tomorrow morning, Thursday 18th June, is for really heavy rain so we will NOT be having our Sports Day at the Riverside Park.
We will still go ahead with Sports Day in the school hall but this means that we don’t have room for family and friends to join us.  We appreciate that is disappointing news and we’re not happy about it either but we simply don’t have any other suitable days left to try for another dry day.
Pupils should come to school tomorrow dressed for Sports Day, wearing their house colours, if they can.  We’ll make sure that our pupils have a great time by taking part in lots of fun activity races tomorrow, cheering them on to win points for their house.
Thanks for your understanding.  Mrs Govans
