Annual Celebration of Achievement
We would like to say a HUGE thank you to all of the children in the school for their efforts over the past year.
Events took over and we sadly were not able to have our usual celebration in the school.
However the staff have carried on and have chosen their winners for this session.
Most of the children received their certificates today and anyone who is absent or self-isolating will receive theirs on return to school.
Each class had one winner from the following categories.
Successful Learners.
These children have shown enthusiasm and motivation for learning and are open to new ways of thinking.
Confident Individuals.
These children have self-respect, secure values and beliefs and show ambition. They demonstrate a growth mindset and try to achieve success in their learning and wider life.
Responsible Citizens.
These children demonstrate respect for others as well as for their class, school, local community and larger global issues.
Effective Contributors.
These children have an enterprising attitude, work well in teams and can communicate in a variety of ways and settings.
ONE WINNER FROM P1 – P5 AND TWO WINNERS EACH FROM P6 AND P7
Citizens’ Awards
These awards are chosen by our classroom assistants who spend every day of the year with the pupils in the playground, at break and during lunch. They pay special attention to children who best display our School Values which are Honesty, Kindness, Respect and Friendship. These pupils have shown, through their attitude and behaviour, just what a good citizen of Mauchline PS & ECC should look like.
INDIVIDUAL PRIZES
Sports Champions
These awards are given to the sports champions in Primary 7 after a series of events which tested their sports abilities and good sportmanship.
Special Achievement Award
This award was very kindly donated by the Young Farmers a few years back and is awarded to a child who displays a consistently outstanding attitude and motivation for learning and who personifies our School Values of friendship, respect, kindness and honesty.
Annual Celebration of Achievement
Unfortunately we are again unable to have our usual Annual Celebration of Achievement.
However we still want to celebrate our children and are in the process of choosing this year’s winners.
Ms Dougan and Mrs Cross will present the winners with their certificates and medals next week and will ensure that children still have a special moment.
Watch out for the winners on Twitter and the blog.
The-Exchange: a counselling and psychological support service for young people
The-Exchange is now providing counselling and emotional and psychological support in your child’s school. This service is available to children aged 10 and over and provides a private space where children and young people can talk about things which are troubling them. Talking things over with a professional can help children to find better ways to cope with difficulties. If your child’s teacher or a key adult within the school feels that counselling may be beneficial to them, they will always contact you before making a request to The-Exchange. For children under the age of 12, parental consent is required in order for the child to attend the counselling or psychological support sessions. When supporting children under the age of 12, The Exchange involve parents at the beginning, in the middle and at the end of the process with an aim to improve the overall resilience and psychological wellbeing of the family.
If you would like further information, please contact Mrs Cross, DHT.
