Well done to our Digital Leaders on achieving the Special Recognition Award for Cyber Resilience and Internet Safety (CR-IS) offered under the Digital Schools Award programme. We are the only school in East Ayrshire to have achieved this just now!

Our Digital Leaders also recently organised a competition to design an Internet Safety Logo for our school. Nina Bednarek’s design was chosen as the winning design. Well done, Nina!

All of this work relates so well to Article 17 of the UNCRC about getting accurate information from newspapers, magazines, television and radio. Also information from electronic sources such as through websites on the internet and through social media. The work of our Digital Leaders is reminding us how to stay safe online,

It’s so lovely to be able to share the great news of our design an app competition winners.😁 As a school we entered into this competition some time ago. Unfortunately events out with our control took place and we are only now able to present our winners with their certificates and prizes.

Evie Dawson in primary 2C was the overall winner and received a Kindle Fire and books. Dex Robinson in primary 5A and Honey Robinson in primary 3C were joint runners up and received an Echo Dot and books. A massive well done to them and everyone that entered the competition!🏅👏👏

💻Evie designed an app called Kid Angel. This has been created as a web app due to these unfortunate times. You can access it here to download by clicking on this link:
