Thank you Catrine Bowling Green

Thank you to Catrine Bowling Green and Paul & Kerry Winning for their recent donation to Catrine Primary School.

From recent fundraising events they donated £464.00 to the school.

This donation will be used to purchase a hand writing product called Nelson Handwriting, which the whole school will benefit from.

Catrine PS is Clean and Green!

Catrine PS is delighted to have been awarded an Eco-Schools Green Flag award by ‘Keep Scotland Beautiful’.

After an intensive audit, we were awarded our flag because

  • we have pupils from every class represented in our Eco Committee
  • we have regular whole school and community litter picks
  • our Clean Up Crews are doing a great job of improving our school playground and environment
  • we support biodiversity in our school grounds by making bird feeders and bird houses
  • we have regular clothes Swap Shops for school uniform, Hallowe’en costumes and Christmas jumpers/party clothes
  • we have Junior Road Safety Officers who regularly highlight the importance of safe parking on our School Streets areas

Our Green Flags are proudly displayed in our main playground and our main entrance, as highlighted here by Ellie, Dalton and Olly.

We have also been asked to present at the EAC Climate Conference next week at the Grange Academy – look out for an update next week.

School Streets

Catrine PS is proud to be a School Streets area and, to keep our pupils safe, we have parking restrictions in place around our school streets at both drop-off and pick-up times.

Between 8.45-9.15am and 2.45-3.15pm the streets around our school should be free from all traffic, apart from residents, to ensure our pupils and wider school community can enter and leave our school safely.

We would appreciate your ongoing support in this matter.

Flu Consent Form Reminder

Please ensure that Flu Consent forms have been returned to the school by Friday 30th August.

The forms will be uplifted on Monday 2nd September by a NHS representative, to allow them to calculate how many vaccines will be required for the school.

Thanks

Well done, Eilidh

Before the summer holidays our senior pupils entered an art competition to design a calendar entry for the new EAC ‘Clean Green’ calendar, which is displayed throughout East Ayrshire.

Congratulations to Eilidh, now in P7, as her design was chosen as one of the runners-up and is published within the calendar.
