The ECC will be starting their visits to the library in the school on Wednesday 4th September.

Could all children please bring in a library bag with their name clearly labelled to ensure that our books do not get wasted in the rain. A homework sheet will also be sent home with your children’s library book which we would appreciate if the children could complete. (This is not compulsory)

Thank you.

Before the holidays, we noticed that it was taking some time for children to make their way to the lines when the bell rings at 9am especially if they are enjoying playing on the grass or the trim trail.

We have therefore decided to introduce a bell at 8.55am to alert the children that it is time to gather their belongings and make their way to their lines where staff will bring them in promptly at 9am to start their day.

The doors at Base 1 will continue to be opened at 8.50am for Primary 1’s to have a soft start to their day.

We will be sending out lots of forms this week that will require you to check and add details for our computer information systems.

Please can you double check that all pages are checked and signed before returning them to school.

Any unsigned paperwork will be returned for signing.
