Catrine ECC – changes to staffing

Our Depute Manager, Alana Speirs, has been given the amazing opportunity of being Head of Centre at Darvel ECC from August to October 2026.

We are so upset that she’s leaving us for a wee while even though we’re pleased for her in her new role. We’ll let you know the new management details in August 2026 for the children returning. Alana leaves us with the ECC being wonderfully organised and ready for the new term.  We wish her all the luck in the world and look forward to welcoming her back!

Two of our pupils were playing in a big football tournament at Flamingo Land at the weekend with their team, Auchinleck Talbot 2018s.

We are very proud of Logan in P4 and Jaxson in P3, with their team getting all the way to the final.  Well done, boys!

Our P6 pupils enjoyed a brilliant BIG Sleepover last Friday night.  Miss Burleigh and some parents joined us for some great team games (with maybe a  wee bit of cheating taking place …) and then we had hotdogs and toasted marshmallows around the campfire.

We then got into our PJs, made up our beds in the wee gym hall (gym mats and sleeping bags!), watched the Scotland game on the big screen and eventually got to sleep around 2.30am!

Everyone was up by 7.30am (although some were awake from 6.00am!), we had our breakfast and tidied up and everyone was collected by 8.00am.  Mrs Schendel and I then went home and slept for the rest of the day!

Well done to our P6 pupils for a funny, loud, sweetie-filled sleepover.
