P7 Residential Trip 2026

The time is getting closer for our P7s to head away on their Residential Trip, so to help with preparations, please find a wee reminder of the Kit List attached with suggestions of what to pack.

Please remember, that children are responsible for taking their own luggage, so be wary to not overpack!

Medication

Please also note, all medication which is required to be taken which is not currently kept in school, must have a medical form completed by a parent/carer (these can be sourced from the main office) and medicine handed into school on Tuesday before we leave. Children should not be packing any medication in their luggage, this will be the responsibility of staff to carry.

Technology

Mobile phones and other forms of technology are NOT permitted. Mrs McNulty and Mrs Frew will be taking lots of videos and pictures which will be shared on our communication platforms throughout the trip. Should you need to contact your child in an emergency, please contact the school and the school will contact Mrs McNulty or Mrs Frew.

Our days and evenings will be filled with lots of activities, however should your child wish to take something to entertain themselves with, we would encourage bringing cards/dominoes/a book. Something that is small to fit in their luggage.

If you have any questions or queries. Please contact Mrs McNulty or Mrs Frew.

Refunds

We are delighted to share that thanks to successful fundraising efforts and funding applications from our Parent Council, P7 parents/carers will be receiving a refund via cheque, from the overall cost of the residential trip. This must be collected from the main office.

We are VERY grateful for the following:

The P7 pupils fundraising efforts, from the Valentine’s Disco and our Burns Family Night.

Our Parent Council who submitted application forms to seek funding to reduce the overall cost of our trip.

The New Cumnock Community Council who granted us an amazing £1000 towards the cost of our transport to the Galloway Activity Centre.

School Choir – Top 3 National Choral Festival

We are delighted to share the news that the choir has been placed in the top three in The Robert Burns World Federation Choral Competition this year.

This is a fantastic achievement, particularly as we were told that the standard of entries was exceptionally high.

The final results will be announced at the Primary Festival on Saturday 13th June 2026 at Clydeview Academy, Gourock.

The top three choir performances will be played throughout the day, with awards, certificates, and medals presented during the awards ceremony at approximately 3pm.

The winning choir performance will then be showcased following the results announcement.

I appreciate this is a long way to travel to collect a medal, however our choir children who were part of the recording, worked so hard in preparation for their competition entry and deserve to have the opportunity to collect their medal. They would be made most welcome if they were able to attend.

Please email me to make me aware if you intend to bring your child so I can make sure I look out for them on the day.

Kind regards,

Mrs McNulty
