Congratulations – Gargieston Cross Country Team

Congratulations to the P6 and P7 team who represented Gargieston at the Cross Country Event today.

We are delighted to announce that the boys won 1st and 2nd place in both the P6 race and the P7 race!!

Congratulations to Cameron McGarey (1st place, P6), Ross Mitchell (2nd place, P6), Sam McCallum (1st place, P7) and Roan Darnbrough (2nd place, P7).

We are proud of all our competitors who were fantastic ambassadors for the school in their participation, behaviour and attitude – well done 🙂

 

P1 – 3 Super Stars!!

Congratulations to our P1-3 Super Stars who received their special certificates at assembly today.  Well done Lily, Blair, Emily, Abbie and Greg 🙂

Help required!!

If anyone has a van which could transport an old style roller blackboard (approx. 7ft-8ft tall) from The Dick Institute to the school this week and back at a later date, could they please let Mrs Lawson know? It is for the P7 school play and would make a terrific prop.

Many thanks,

Mrs Lawson

£1000 Trim Trail Donation From Keepmoat Homes

A group of children accompanied Mrs McKee, Mrs Work and Mrs Maz to the Keepmoat Homes development to accept a donation of £1000 towards our school Trim Trail.

The school community would like to thank Ramona and the team at Keepmoat Homes for their generous donation.  We have now raised over £11,000 towards our target and are confident we can achieve our total before the end of the year.

Mrs McKee and Mrs Work also met with the architectural team today who will be project managing the installation.  We are on track for installation in April 2019 🙂

Many thanks to our fundraising group, parents and the wider school community for their continued support of this ambitious project.

JO Love Soccer Centre – Girls Only Football

We are considering the possibility of organising a Walking Bus from Gargieston Primary School to Ayrshire College for any of our girls who would be interested in going to participate in football.

We are looking for parent volunteers who could possibly assist on a rotational basis to allow our girls to attend these free sessions.

Save the date !
