Creating a Mentally Healthy School at Gargieston
A reminder for anyone who hasn’t already filled out our Mentally Healthy Schools Survey. Please take 10 minutes to fill this out by Friday 1st October. Thank you.
As part of our journey to becoming a Mentally Healthy School we are looking for parents and carers to give us some feedback on our journey so far.
We would really appreciate it if you could please take 5/10 minutes to complete the Form in the link below by Friday 1st October.
As always, your support is hugely appreciated!

Book Titles
At school we often get asked for suggestions of good authors or book titles, so I thought I’d draw your attention to this website. Every month a book is chosen as ‘Book of the Month’ and some may be of interest to you. This is the link for September, a book set in WW1, and includes an interview with the author and what inspires her writing.
This term, we have a focus on Writing in school and often see the best readers are the best writers too, so we hope this will be of interest to many of you.
So kind!
We always like to share stories of Gargieston pupils showing our school values out with school time, so we are delighted to tell you about one of our P6 girls.
Eilidh McLeish made the huge decision to cut her lovely long hair and donate it to The Little Princess Trust, a charity which makes real hair wigs for children who have lost their hair due to cancer treatment. Eilidh, we are so proud of you!

Rev. McNaughtan has invited the children to participate in an art competition being run in time for Harvest.

Road Race
It is great to see some outdoor events beginning to be held again – one of them being the Schools Road Race in Grangemouth yesterday.
We had 4 teams from P6 and 7 participating. They all ran extremely well in this national event with a special mention going to the P6 girls team who finished 5th and the two P7 boys teams for finishing 8th and 9th out of 26.
We are so proud of you representing the school and thanks to all your parents for taking you along. Well done, Team Gargieston!
