A winning token will be selected in a raffle style at the last Friday assembly of each month by Mrs Fergusson or Mrs McCreadie. **In addition, EAC will select a caddy at random monthly, across every participating school to receive a £25 gift card. Let’s get registering our MC Caddies and recycling…you’ve got to be in it to win it!!!!

Head Lice
To avoid any unwanted visitors can we suggest that any children with long hair come to school with their hair tied up. Research has shown that the instances of infestation are lessened with this. It is also recommended that parents/carers check their child’s hair regularly.
Thank you for your cooperation with this matter.
