Superstars
What a great first day back at school we had today, in the lovely sunshine too!
Well done to our P2 to P7 pupils – they settled into their new classes so quickly and got straight to work.
Our new Primary 1 pupils had an excellent start to their time in primary school – we are so proud of them all and look forward to welcoming them back tomorrow at 9.30am.
We’ve got a brilliant year ahead at Catrine PS 🙂

P1 Reminder for Wednesday
Just a wee reminder for our new P1 starts on Wednesday 20th August.
We will open the doors at 9.30am at the infant playground. Can we ask that only parents enter the playground with their child please?
A photo opportunity will be available for all pupils.
For pupils taking a school dinner, they will be asked over the next three days what they would like to eat.
The ParentPay system will generate a code for you to sign in and hopefully will be available by the end of the day on Friday.
On Wednesday, the school day will finish at 2.30pm for P1. Please enter the playground to collect your child.
Any questions please contact the school and we look forward to your child starting in Primary 1. Thank you.
Just Married!
Our Miss McLean is now Mrs Hasson!
Our new Primary 1 pupils will now have Mrs Ferguson on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and Mrs Hasson on Thursday and Friday.
Congratulations and best wishes to the newlyweds, who were married in Rome during the summer holidays.

Congratulations to Emily in P2 who was the winner of our annual Catrine’s Got Talent competition.
Emily serenaded us all with a beautiful rendition of Count on Me by Bruno Mars.
The judges; Mrs Watt, Ellie, Caleb C and Daryl H, had such a hard time choosing the winner because the talent on display from all the entrants was absolutely amazing! We had dancers, gymnasts, footballers, artists and singers. Well done to all the children who entered and a HUGE thank you to the Primary 7s who organised it all.

What can we do, as a school community and with our families, to keep ourselves healthy and fit?
Check out our awesome answers below 🙂
