Well done this weeks superstars

Congratulations to Sam McCallum who took the bronze medal representing Gargieston at the Scottish Schools Swimming Championships in Glasgow yesterday. What a fabulous achievement!

It is fantastic to see so many of our children supporting us in our local Tesco stores by putting their blue tokens into our voting box.

Please remember that voting continues until the end of February and we could be awarded up to £4000 for our Trim Trail and outdoor play equipment.

Provisional plans for the Trim Trail will be shared with the children at assembly on Monday.  We are delighted with our bespoke design which includes equipment suitable for our youngest children in the ECC as well as some challenging pieces of equipment for our oldest children (and staff!!)

Please keep supporting Gargieston PS & ECC and encourage your friends and family to support us by putting their blue tokens in our voting box.

These children had a fabulous time this morning meeting Bex from West FM and being interviewed for School of the Week.

Listen out for our Gargieston stars on the Breakfast show at 8.35am and the Home Run at 3.40pm every day next week!

Please be aware that the freezing temperatures overnight and this morning have left the back playground extremely slippy.

Mr Nisbet is currently salting pathways around the school and we will bring all children in at 8.50am.

Please take extra care when making your way to and from school with your children.

Primary 7 will visit Grange Academy

In November, we asked 3 ‘big questions’ in order to gather your views to inform our new vision and set of values for Gargieston PS & ECC.

Your feedback to these questions has been collated and there were many common themes in your responses.  We would now like to ask for your support in responding to this brief survey to identify what you think our school values should be.

The link below will direct you straight to the survey – there will be no request for email addresses or passwords.  You will be asked to select the 5 values which you think are most important from a list containing key words from your responses to the ‘big questions’.  The survey will take you less than a minute to complete.

With over 300 families across our ECC and school, your responses to this survey will form a large part of our consultation process and the creation of our updated school vision and values.

Thank you very much to the 50 families who have responded to our survey so far.  We look forward to receiving more responses over the weekend 🙂
