More success from P6B girls!

Another of our P6B girls has had sporting success! Rose Gilmour won the Ayrshire Short Tennis Championship Girls Singles for 2022. This is not her first success in tennis so we can see what a super player she is! Here is Rose with her trophy from today.

Well done, Rose!

 

 

Wider Achievement

We always like hearing all about the children’s success out with school hours, so we were delighted to hear a good news story about two of our P6B girls. Eilidh Mitchell and Megan Haggarty competed for Kilmarnock Harriers at the Emirates Arena recently – Eilidh in the 60m sprint and standing long jump; Megan in the 60m sprint and 600m. They came second in the finals bringing home the silver medal! Well done, girls, a fabulous achievement!

Doesn’t matter the colour and the edges should be finished with zig zag or overlock stitch .
