Cricket Club

October 21, 2019 User deactivated Leave a comment

Last session we were extremely lucky to have Mark Colman from Kilmarnock Cricket Club volunteering in the school working with P6 as part of the curriculum but also in an after-school club. Mark’s work was so successful that Gargieston were crowned the West of Scotland champions!

Mark will be working with P6 again later in the session, but in the meantime would like to welcome any 9-13 year old boy or girl to try a couple of free sessions with the Club on Tuesday nights from 7-8pm in the William McIlvaney Leisure Centre New Farm campus. If the children decide to stay on it would be £25 for the term.

For further details please contact either Gav on 07749825671 or Mark on 07803886733.

Attainment Talks

Attainment Talks for Parents

Teaching and learning has totally transformed in recent years and we understand that the Scottish curriculum and how it is delivered in Gargieston PS & ECC can be baffling for parents.

“Is my child achieving success in their learning?”

“Are they achieving at the appropriate level?”

“How is my child assessed?”

“What does Early, First and Second Level actually mean?”

Mrs McKee has organised Attainment Talks in order to answer these questions, inform parents about the Curriculum for Excellence and how this translates into the high quality learning experiences which your children enjoy in our school.

In order to make these sessions accessible to as many parents as possible, Mrs McKee will offer the same session at 2 different times – Tuesday 20^th November at 6pm and Thursday 22^nd November at 2.15pm. The session is appropriate for parents of all children from our ECC through to Primary 7.

Please indicate below if to intend to attend one of the Attainment Talk Sessions.
