Pantomime Donation

We would like to thank our Parent Council who have, this week given us a wonderful donation towards the cost of the Pantomime!

Because of this, the cost per pupil has been reduced from £17 to £12 which is a fantastic saving for our families.

1. If you have already paid the full cost of the pantomime, you will soon receive a refund for £5, you will then have nothing else to pay. Even if your outstanding balance on Parentpay is still showing £5 please ignore this.
2. If you have only paid the first instalment of £10 you will now only  have £2 left to pay.

We’re looking for a Netball Coach!

We’re looking for a parent/carer/friend to help coach our school netball team. You don’t need to be an experienced coach, just knowledge of the sport and enthusiasm for working with children and a willingness to support our young players develop their confidence and skills.

Our Active Schools coordinator, Faye Meikle, will be able to assist you in getting started. All that is required is giving up an hour of your time (per week) for an afterschool club. Having a netball coach for the school team will allow them the chance to participate in friendly and school competitions, something that is often asked of by the young people.

If you’re interested or have any questions, please contact: Faye.Meikle@Ayrshire360.com or speak to a member of staff at the school.

It’s that time of year again !….”oh yes it is…….

                                  Live on Parentpay now!

On Friday 11th  December the whole school will be attending The Gaiety Theatre in Ayr this year to see the morning performance of the Pantomine “Dick Whittington“.

We will soon be sending home a letter about the trip which also includes information on how to pay via Parentpay, and a tear off slip  to return stating whether or not your child wishes to attend.  Please be aware that this is a whole school outing, if your child does not wish to attend they should be dropped off at school after we have returned from the performance.  

The cost per child this year is £17 this includes the ticket and transport.

If anyone has any concerns re the cost,  please contact the school office in confidence before Monday 14th September so we can discuss possible supports.

Thank you
