New Primary 1 gift bags – last day for collection
A reminder that gift bags for our new Primary 1 children are available outside the main front door.
This includes a personalised story from their P6 buddy, a Primary 1 yearbook with photographs of classmates, a note with their house name as well as some lovely summer gifts.
This is the last day for collection and will be available until noon today.
A huge Thank You!
Firstly thank you for the very generous gift I received today. I was overwhelmed and I promise I’ll treat myself and not just Baby T.
Tomorrow is the last day of Primary 6 and I think we’re all in the mood for a party, so that’s exactly what we’re going to do!
I’ve had a wonderful year in Primary 6. You have all worked hard and have been excellent learners. I am proud of each and every one of you for the resilience you’ve shown despite the difficult year.
Well done to the P6 who will be our House and Vice Captains next school year. I am proud of all the children who put themselves forward for a Captain position. There will be plenty of other responsibility roles in P7.
The P6 wrote wonderful stories for their P1 buddies which went home in the new P1 gift bags. I know you’ll be excellent buddies when the time comes.
Have an amazing holiday and I’ll see you when you’re back as the new P7.

Drop Off Arrangements for August 2021
From August there will be some changes to the entrance gates and lining up areas for each class.
P1, P1/2 and P2/3 should enter the school grounds from the side Infant Gate.
P4 – 7 should enter the school grounds from the Main Gate.
Please look at the map below to see where your child’s class should line up at 9.00am each morning. This is also the door from which they will be dismissed at 3.00pm.
We ask that no parents/carers are in the playground for morning drop off. New P1 parents/carers only will be in the playground for the first full week (23rd – 27th August).
At afternoon pick up parents/carers are asked to wait in the playground area closest to their child’s access door. Please remember to wear face coverings and socially distance from other families at these times.
Thank you, as always, for your ongoing support.
