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 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.

Please note the change to the lunch menu on Friday 4th October.

If you have already booked a lunch on Parentpay, you will have to go back in and reorder for this day.

EAC School Counselling

Well done to our Ruby Reward winners this week for being excellent pupils in our dinner hall.

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.
