Catrine Primary School has received a large donation of brand new school clothes from Tesco Auchinleck.
We have shirts, polo shirts, boys trousers, girls trousers, skirts and pinafores.
These will be available to view on parents evening on Wednesday 2nd October.
Thank you to everyone that handed in a bag of unwanted clothing.
Recycling old clothes helps the environment and raises funds for the school.
Thank you
Well done to our Ruby Reward winners this week for being excellent pupils in our dinner hall.
The whole school worked together in their new Home Circles for the first time this year, and what a wonderful job our P7 pupils did with their younger house members.
We completed a ‘getting to know you’ activity where everyone talked about their favourite things, ranging from Star Wars to Sea Cadets to football to pizza!
Then each Home Circle answered our Big Question based on our school Values –
C is for Community. What is a community? Which communities are we a part of?
Check out their answers below …
Parents Night – Wednesday 2nd October : 3.20pm – 8.00pm
Parents Night Appointments are now open for booking.
Please call the school office to arrange an appointment to speak to your child’s class teacher.
Thank you
We were delighted to be invited to this year’s Climate Conference to share all of the amazing work the school has done around the natural environment. Lucy and Ellie represented Catrine and presented to schools from across the authority, elected members and the Head of Education. They delivered a fantastic presentation that showcased all of the work done in relation to The Clean Green Award and The John Muir Award. A huge well done to the girls, as well as every other pupil and the wider parent/carer community who helped make our days a huge success.

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
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.

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.
