It was so lovely to welcome our children back to school today for the new session.\u00a0 Our 81 Primary 1 children have settled in well and\u00a0have\u00a0had a fabulous start to their learning journey with us at Gargieston.\u00a0 We have also welcomed 4 new pupils at the Primary 4 stage and Miss McGrane & Miss McConnell to our teaching staff team.\u00a0 Mrs Greer will join our clerical team on Wednesday and will be with us 3 days each week.<\/p>\n
With our school roll continuing to grow,\u00a0it will\u00a0be necessary to make\u00a0some organisational changes to routines.\u00a0 From Wednesday 22nd August, only Primary 1 pupils will have permission to enter the school building from 8.50am\u00a0as a ‘soft start’ to their day.\u00a0 Children from Primary 2 upwards will line up in the playground and will be collected by their teacher at 9am.<\/p>\n
We had a very busy assembly this\u00a0afternoon for all 390 pupils where the children were introduced to our new promoting positive relationships and behaviour system – ‘Reach for the Stars’.\u00a0 This is a new approach for Gargieston but it is one that the staff team have fully embraced and I am sure that the children will too.\u00a0 Ask your children about it today and look out for more information to follow in terms of a leaflet and parent workshops.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
