Huge congratulations to our swim team who competed so successfully at The Citadel in Ayr on Saturday. A particular mention must go to Sam McCallum who was 2nd in the 50m Freestyle, 4th in Back Crawl and 5th in Breast stroke. Fingers crossed Sam will be put forward for the national finals next year.

L to R: Ryan Johnston, Sam McCallum, Dominic Patton, Jess Urquhart and Freya Lee.

Thank you for being such good ambassadors for Gargieston!

The GFG would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who purchased a photograph.   We have received a fantastic £1,200 in commission from the sales which will go towards the Trim Trail.

Thank you again.

We are delighted to announce that Miss Gray was successful at interview yesterday and now joins our team within Gargieston ECC on a full permanent basis 🙂

Today was our Wider Achievement Assembly. Children brought in their awards from the activities they take part in outside school and received certificates. Well done all!

Developing Our Vision and Values – Part 2

Thank you to everyone who responded to our first question last week.  Throughout your responses, there were common threads and key themes, some of which related to attainment and achievement but many of which related to the development of core values.

The next ‘big’ question as part of this process is:

What do you want your children to carry away with them as they leave us in Primary 7, something which may stay with them for the rest of their lives, as a result of the systematic attention we all paid to it at Gargieston PS and ECC?

Please take some time this week to consider this question and jot down your ideas in the comments box.  Remember there are no right or wrong answers and your answer may be similar to some of the information you provided last week.  We will collate this information on Friday 9^th November.

Your views are important to us and we look forward to receiving your responses.

The kitchen has been told by EAC

that children are only allowed 1 fresh orange cuplet

or  1 Fair Trade juice carton at break time.

They are allowed 2 Aqua Juices.

Additional bottles of water can be purchased.

A reminder to all that our Christmas choir has now started. It is on every Tuesday at 1:00pm in the music room. Primary 1-7 all welcome.
