Kenneth Clarke Community Garden – Opening Ceremony

 

It was a pleasure to be involved in the opening ceremony of The Kenneth Clarke Community Garden on Friday 27th September.  It was an excellent event organised by Drongan Grassroots, and supported by many important people and organisations from across the authority.

We were extremely proud of the children from Drongan Primary who read poems that they had written, and also of our choir who sang at the event.

Thank you to Drongan Grassroots who have supported us and worked together to make this happen.  Also, thank you to our Parent Council who supported us in order to access some of the funding.  And to J R Garden Solutions for doing such a great job of landscaping the garden.

A huge thanks to Kenneth’s family, who have been so supportive to the school over the years.  It really is a fitting tribute for this wonderful resource to be named after Kenneth.

     

Barony Burns Success

We had more Burns success at the inaugural Barony Burns Competition on Tuesday 26th March.  Mitchell won the P1 – 3 category and Jessica was the winner for P6-7.  Well done to Jandre who competed in the P4 – 5 category.

A huge well done once again on what has been a very successful year for Drongan Primary School in Burns competitions.

Show Week!!!

What a week it has been at Drongan Primary School.  Both the P1 – 3 Nativity and the P4 – 7 Show were absolutely fantastic and once again showcased the wonderful talent that we have among the children here in Drongan.  It is a pleasure and a privilege to work with the children every day to provide them with the opportunity to demonstrate their talents, and the Thursday evening performance was certainly a fitting finale to show week.

A huge well done to all of the children and a massive thanks to the staff for the work that has gone into the preparations for the performances.

Finally, a big thank you to you the parents, carers and members of the community for your continued support.  It is an honour not only to work in a school with great pupils and staff, but also to serve what is such a strong and supportive community here in Drongan.

There are two Sway presentations below with links to photographs of the cast list and choruses for the shows.  Some children are off today but we will take their photo when they return and add to the Sway presentation.

All the Fun of the Fayre

 

A huge thank you to everyone who attended our Christmas Fayre on Tuesday 5th December.  With the support and generosity of you and the community we raised over £2400 for the school fund on the night. This total will increase with he work that is going on in the school. It is always a pleasure to see the school so busy and was also lovely to see so many former pupils who came along to support the event.

Thank you to Mr McFadzean and Mrs Tait for all the hard work involved in making this event such a success.
