As another successful school year draws to a close, it’s time to say Thank You to everyone at #TeamCatrine who helps to make our school run so smoothly.

Thank you to our Cleaning Supervisor, Helen, our Cleaner, Michelle, and our Janny, Mr McCreath, for making sure that our school and classrooms are clean and tidy, warm and safe for us to come into every day.

Thank you to our Catering Supervisor, Shelagh, and her kitchen staff for their lovely school lunches and for the sneaky chocolate cake that our P7 Leavers enjoyed today.

Thank you to every member of school staff – teachers and Classroom Assistants – for their professionalism, commitment and true sense of teamwork in providing excellent learning and teaching opportunities for our children.

Thank you to Mrs Robertson, Senior Clerical Assistant, for keeping the whole school organised and running like clockwork!

Thank you to Mrs Schendel, Depute Headteacher, for her tireless work ensuring all of our pupils are supported in their learning and wellbeing.

Thank you to our parents/carers, family and friends and wider Catrine community for your constant and unwavering support of all we do – it is appreciated more than you will ever know!

Last, but by no means, least – THANK YOU to our Catrine PS pupils for making us proud every single day.  Working in a primary school has its challenges, but the funny, sweet, inspirational moments that we share every day with your children make it the best job in the world.  Good luck to our P7 pupils as they move onto the Robert Burns Academy – stick in!!

Wishing you all a lovely summer. Take care, Mrs Govans x

Well done to Eilidh P6, who was a runner up at the recent Clean Green Climate Calendar Competition 2024/2025.

She received a bag of goodies and a copy of the calendar showing her art work.

Well done Eilidh

I am delighted to inform our new Primary 3 pupils and parents that their teacher, starting in August 2024, is Mrs Withers.

Mrs Withers is currently teaching at Bellsbank PS and we look forward to welcoming her to Catrine PS in August.

She was in school today for a wee visit and spent some time with her new class, and can’t wait to get started! 🙂

Catrine Primary School were recently asked by NHS Ayrshire & Arran to create their own interpretation of the painting below ‘Arran’ by artist A Peutherer.

Ten pupils art work was selected and the chosen piece that will be sharing the front cover of the NHS Spiritual Care Framework for Ayrshire and Arran leaflet was Coral.

All art work chosen will be displayed at Crosshouse Hospital from October.

Well done to our artists;

Coral P5

Packed Lunch Order

On Friday 14th June, our P6 pupils had their Big Sleepover.  They camped in the school grounds (well, on this occasion, due to the horrible wet weather, they slept in the school hall!), roasted marshmallows over a campfire in the playground and played an awesome game of staff/parents v pupils Rounders (which the adults won, of course).

Mrs Ferguson and Mrs Govans were the lucky staff who stayed all night, with Miss Burleigh, Mrs Campbell, Miss Brown and Mrs Schendel joining us for the team games and campfire.

Thanks to all the parents who joined in, thanks to Carolyn McFarlane at EAC LOST for organising it and special thanks to our P6 pupils for being awesome!  It was a brilliant night of giggles, midnight snacks, PJs in the school hall and very little sleep … 🙂
