Last year, the Captains/Vice Captains and the Pupil Council group, discussed the idea of staff from the primary department being allocated to a house, and like pupils, show their allegiance to their house for the duration of the time they work within Dunlop Primary. Despite the fact there will be allegiance in abundance, we know the staff will still champion all of our children, irrespective of their house!
We believe that a sense of community pervades throughout our school, however this would arguably be incomplete if the children were not given the opportunity to interact with staff beyond those they see in the classroom, thereby encouraging stronger relationships and a stronger sense of belonging. So this year, and for every year after, we present our staff house allocation group.
When the Captains and Vice Captains shared this news with the staff, there were some huge cheers and whoops of joy! A couple of staff members have also been heard saying, they might get themselves a house t-shirt!! I think it is true to say, the race for the House Cup, is well and truly on!
Good luck children and staff of Clerkland, Glazert and Lugton, work hard, show your team spirit, live and demonstrate our school values and give your best to the house challenges! Your housemates need you!
Kind regards, Mrs Nouillan
