Catrine brothers take over Glasgow!

On Friday 16th May, two Catrine brothers – Alfie in P6 and Jack in P5 – travelled to the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Glasgow to deliver a presentation at the ASSIST Conference, on behalf of EAC.

Members of every Scottish local authority were present at the conference, which was focusing on how communities can tackle climate change and improve their local environment.

With Alfie being recognised as EAC’s Youth Climate Change Champion at an awards ceremony earlier this month, it was only right that he delivered EAC’s message (and he asked if his wee brother could help out too!)

We are so proud of how well both boys did – speaking confidently and clearly to a packed conference room and then answering questions.  What a credit they are to our school, our community and their family.  Well done!

Tesco Stronger Starts Grant

We are delighted that Catrine Primary School have been awarded £1000 from Tesco Stronger Starts Grant.

Louise and Eileen from Tesco Auchinleck came along today to present the pupils at Catrine PS with their cheque.

The money will be used to create a garden to grow vegetables and for loose parts for the playground.

Thank you to everyone that supported us and dropped the blue counters into our box.

Summer Trip Reminder and Information

Our whole school summer trip to Heads of Ayr Farm Park will be on Wednesday 25th June.

Thank you to everyone that has handed in their child’s permission form and payment.

Again thank you to the Parent Council making a donation towards the cost of the trip.

Parentpay is open for payments, if you are having problems with Parentpay please contact the school.

As we will be away for the full school day, we need to make plans for how many pupils will require a school meal/packed lunch on this day.

Hot Weather and Sunscreen

As the lovely weather continues, we would like to remind everyone of the sun safe message.

Can we ask that you apply sunscreen prior to your child attending school?

Please do not send sunscreen into school.

Your child can wear a sunhat, if they wish, and can bring a bottle of water to have in class.

Thank you.
