Our next RAG BAG collection is on Monday 7th June.

Primary 6 children have been issuing the bags for collection of recycled clothes etc.

Look out for these in your child’s school bag.

The RBA blog contains a fabulous PowerPoint with all of the information that you will need during the transition period between Primary 7 and S1. 

The children can wear their sporty clothes every day this week as we are celebrating Health Week and Walk to School Week.

Keep your eye on Twitter for some fabulous photographs of the children getting fit and healthy.

Try to walk to school this week if at all possible!
