Congratulations to The Gargieston Ski Team,

Good Luck !
Our first meeting regarding the P7 residential outing to Arran will take place on Thursday 1st November at 7.15 pm
This would allow you to see a presentation on the activities you could expect your child to experience, an approximate cost, travel / sleeping arrangements and of course a chance to ask staff questions.
We would strongly urge all parents to attend even if you think your child may not attend – sometimes children change their mind as the year progresses.
Please enter details below if you plan to attend.
Many thanks and we shall look forward to seeing you at the meeting.
Friday 5th October is Sportscotland National Active Girls Day.
In partnership with Active Schools, we have organised for dance coach Chloe Wallace to visit Gargieston on Friday afternoon to provide a coaching session for all girls in Primary 5, 6 and 7.
The girls will learn a fun dance routine and are encouraged to wear something neon for the session.
Mrs McKee will also hold an additional one-off running club session at 8.30am on Friday morning for girls in Primary 5, 6 and 7.
Mrs Mackay would like to invite any interested Mum’s to join the girls for netball after school on Friday.
Mums are more than welcome to join us!
