As we close today for the summer holidays, there’s some special people who deserve a big THANK YOU!

Thank you to … the parents, family and friends of our  Catrine PS pupils for your constant support of everything we do.  It makes a huge difference to know we have your backing in our efforts to continuously improve the learning and teaching experiences for your children.

Thank you to … the Parent Council for giving up their own time to arrange wonderful events for our pupils, and for their advice and support in moving our school forward

Thank you to … #Team Catrine staff – our teachers, Classroom Assistants, Senior Clerical, Catering and Cleaning staff – who all work so hard to ensure Catrine PS is a supportive, nurturing, clean, safe and wonderful learning environment.  It’s truly a team effort to keep a school continuously improving and every member of staff is a vital part of our collective school group.

Thank you to … our Catrine PS pupils.  From Primary 1 to Primary 7, our pupils motivate us every day.  They are kind, smart, funny, loud, creative, clever, hardworking, noisy, friendly, messy, inventive, cheeky – all the things that happy children should be and we think the world of them.

Wishing you all a wonderful summer break.  Good luck to our P7 Leavers – reach for the stars as you start your RBA journey.

We look forward to welcoming everyone, especially our new Primary 1 pupils, on Monday 21st August.

Take care. Mrs Govans x

Well done to all our pupils that took part in our recent Catrine’s Got Talent.  From break dancing, football skills to singing, Catrine pupils are very talented.

Our overall winners were Georgia, Millie, Kaylie, Marley, Josh, Ryan and Ashton with their own version of Britain’s Got Talent.

P7 pupils will bring home a letter that has been issued by RBA, with information on first day arrangements for Monday 21st August.

A copy of the letter is can be found on the link below.

What a brilliant day the whole school had during our visit to Glasgow Science Centre on Monday. P1-4 pupils enjoyed a trip to The Planetarium, and P5-7 pupils watched a 3D movie called ‘Our Beautiful Planet’ on Scotland’s largest IMAX screen. We all loved exploring the three floors of science activities, games, puzzles and interactive exhibits.  Lots of comments from pupils about wanting to organise a return visit soon!

From Tuesday 27th June, pupils can dress down for the remainder of the week .

Any school uniform in good condition can be held into the school from Tuesday 27th, for our clothes swap.
