All pupils have been learning some Christmas songs to sing at the Make Catrine Sparkle event on Sunday 4th December.

After the main lantern parade, all Catrine PS pupils, friends and family are invited to meet in the Square at 6.15pm to have a Community Christmas Singalong – guaranteed to get you feeling festive!

We hope you can join us.

Well done to the winners of our design a bright hoodie competition.

Do you have any unused or outgrown Christmas jumpers and party wear?

Why not drop if off at the School or ECC before 30th November?

Next Friday is be bright be seen day . With the dark mornings and dark nights we need to remember cars can’t always see us when we cross the road.

Next Friday pupils can come to school wearing bright clothes or with something bright in their hair, on their jacket or on their bag. Or pupils can just dress down.

The junior road safety officers will organise some activities for everyone.

On Tuesday 15th November Alana and Lesleyanne had the privilege of attending the CYPIC conference in Glasgow SEC where a  video clip was presented showcasing Catrine ECC and our fabulously famous children 🙂

Scottish Government asked the ECC  to discuss some of the changes they have made so far whilst on their  journey to becoming a Communication Friendly Environment with the collection of data and quality improvement methods in mind.

Below you can find the link to the video clip where you might see some familiar faces (Riccarton ECC appear first in the clip with Catrine following on a few minutes later)

As always, our pupils and staff loved welcoming family and friends into the school and we look forward to having you all back in again soon!
