Harvest Collection 2021
Our newly elected Captains and Vice Captains met to plan and organise this year’s Harvest collection, and this year they chose the AYRSHIRE (EAST) FOODBANK (seeded by The Trussell Trust)to be the receiving charity.
AYRSHIRE (EAST) FOODBANK
‘We don’t think anyone in our community should have to face going hungry. That’s why we provide three days’ nutritionally balanced emergency food and support to local people who are referred to us in crisis. We are part of a nationwide network of foodbanks, supported by The Trussell Trust, working to combat poverty and hunger across the UK.’
Today our Harvest collection was expertly led by the Vic Captains and after collecting the food items they then had the hard job of packing this ready for the foodbank to collect.
The Captains and Vice Captains, extend a huge thank you to our school community for their generosity and kindness.
I would like to extend a huge thank you to the Captains and Vice Captains for their citizenship and raising awareness for food poverty.
Kind regards, Mrs Nouillan

Dunlop House System and Captains and Vice Captains
When new pupils arrive at Dunlop Primary, their transition is supported by entry into a caring and supportive environment.
Each new pupil becomes a valued member of a small ‘family unit’ within Dunlop and are allocated a House. Pupils stay within their house until they leave in P7, additionally we place siblings together within a house.
At Dunlop Primary, we have three house: Clerkland, Glazert and Lugton.
Our house are named after local places and each house is represented by a different colour, we encourage pupils to wear their house colours on days throughout the year.
Clerkalnd = Blue
Glazert = Yellow
Lugton = Red
P7 House Captains and P6 Vice Captains
At the beginning of the school year, a P7 is elected House Captain and takes on the responsibility for the leadership and organisation of their house for the forthcoming year and they are supported by a P6 Vice Captain. The House Captains and Vice Captains work tirelessly to ensure their house members are working together to earn House Points through living and demonstrating our School Values of being Happy, Kind, Honest and Respectful.
House points are also awarded at House Events, this will be when we are allowed to mix bubbles!
At the end of the year, house points are added together and the house with the most points wins the overall house competition and they lift the much coveted House Cup. This is a prestigious moment for the Captain and Vice Captain and they are cheered along by a delighted house!
Over the last two weeks, House Captain and Vice Captain election fever hit Dunlop Primary and I want to thank again all our prospective P7 and P6 candidates for showing commitment to their house and delivering wonderful election speeches! Both Mrs Kelly and myself were delighted to see so many children keen to take on leadership roles with in our school.
After voting, I am pleased to announce the following candidates were elected by their peers:
As always, I am looking forward to working alongside the Captains and Vice Captains.
With warmest regards, Mrs Nouillan
Mrs Wilson – An Inspirational Head Teacher
On Friday, the whole school came together outdoors in a Covid safe way to let Mrs Wilson know what she meant to us, how we appreciated her hard work and commitment to Dunlop and to wish her well on her new and exciting chapter.
Mrs Wilson was the kindest, most nurturing, upbeat person you could ever hope to meet and we were so fortunate to have her lead Dunlop Primary School and ECC for seven years.
Mrs Wilson supported many children and staff over the years, and she was a trusted and valued colleague and friend to us all. We will all miss Mrs Wilson, and of course, we will miss her assemblies from her garden shed.
We presented Mrs Wilson with lots of gifts as a token of how much she meant to us and then she took a walk of honour around the park to say goodbye to each child.
Thank you Mrs Wilson for being our Head Teacher and for always working so hard for Dunlop Primary School and ECC.
You are an inspiration!

Take care Mrs Wilson and don’t forget to wave to us when you are walking Tilly and Toby!
With kind regards, Mrs Nouillan and everyone at Dunlop Primary and ECC
Our Beautiful Tree
Our House Captains stepped up to Step into Christmas yesterday and they organised the Christmas tree. They have her dressed in her resplendent glory and this morning there were lots of ooohs and aaahs as the children came into school!
Thank you Captains for tree trimming skills and for helping us all get in the mood for Christmas.
With warmest regards, Mrs Nouillan
