Well done to this week’s winners for being excellent pupils in our dinner hall.
Reminder – CATRINE Values logo competition
At the beginning of this session, after consultation with pupils, staff, parents and carers, we updated our school and ECC values.
We now have our CATRINE Values –
C – Community
A – Achievement
T – Teamwork
R – Respect
I – Inclusion
N – Nurture
E – Excellence
We’re asking for your help in designing a logo which contains the words CATRINE Values and what each letter stands for. The winning design will be made into a poster by the EAC Print Room and will be displayed around the school and incorporated into our school stationery.
We are NOT replacing our school badge – the lovely image of the Catrine Wheel will still be on our school jumpers and polo shirts; we are looking for a design for our CATRINE Values.
Logo entries are welcomed from creative folk of all ages – you can either hand in entries on paper to the main office or take photos of your design and email them to judith.govans@east-ayrshire.gov.uk.
The finished poster will be A4 size so we’re looking for a bright, colourful and clear poster which makes our CATRINE Values very easy to read and understand.
Thanks in advance for your help – I can’t wait to see your wonderful entries. All entries to be in by Friday 26th January please. Please contact the school for further information. Mrs Govans
P7 Leavers Hoodies

Final day at Dolphin House
Our final day at Dolphin House has been busy too. We had to strip our beds and pack our cases before our final dorm inspection. Well done to Georgia, Millie and Layla who gained the most points over the week for the tidiest dorm.
We completed an orienteering course this morning before doing a treasure hunt around Culzean park then ended our week roasting marshmallows around the campfire.
What a fantastic week where we have challenged ourselves to try new activities, tried new foods, worked as a team, developed our independence, persevered when things got hard, followed instructions and spent a whole week with no electronics! We even managed to squeeze in a game of tig while waiting for the bus.

Dolphin House – Day 2
The teachers woke us up this morning with some ok music.
We had half an hour to get ready and down for breakfast at 8.30am. We enjoyed some porridge, cereal and fruit. After that we had our first dorm inspection.
Then we got ready to go our Hillwalk. Almost everyone fell asleep on the bus heading TO Loch Doon – before we even climbed the hill! We got to Loch Doon and we climbed Knocknearie Hill, walked along Ness Glen and visited Dalcairney Falls.
We had macaroni and garlic bread for dinner followed by apple crumble and custard. Some people had some fruit too.
Tonight we learned a bit more about John Muir and enjoyed a fun games night.

Ellis arrived safely on Saturday 30th December, weighing 8 lbs 4 oz and both mum and baby are doing well. Ellis is just perfect x
