Congratulations to Mrs Lawson who was successful at interview yesterday for the post of Acting Depute Head Teacher here at Gargieston PS & ECC.

We are delighted that Mrs Lawson will be joining the Senior Leadership Team within our school and know that she is looking forward to working with families throughout the school to achieve the best possible outcomes for our children.

Well done to all our superstars 🙂

Take a look at the Facebook page for Speech and Language Therapy in East Ayrshire which shares lots of helpful information about how you can support your childs communication.

Ajay Chima, one of our P1 pupils, also stars in their latest short video “Communication for Life” 🙂

Earlier this year, as part of our Rights Respecting School initiative, Orla McAllister and Emma Simpson took a leadership role within the school and organised a second hand clothes and bric a brac collection for the Kilmarnock charity C.A.S.E. (Caring and Sharing Effectively). As a result of this excellent work the girls were nominated and shortlisted for a Year of Young People Award in the Enterprise Champion category and, accompanied by Mrs. McLaughland,  attended an award presentation and dinner at Dumfries House last Wednesday night. Unfortunately, they didn’t win however they were on the stage and presented with beautiful framed certificates to mark their achievement. Congratulations Orla and Emma!!

Here are our super stars from the 19th November. Well done P1-3. Sorry this post got lost.
