SURF Awards 2021

Leave a comment

To round off our short week at school we wanted to share with you the wonderful work we have received from members of our Pupil Council.

New Cumnock were shortlisted to the final 3 in the SURF Awards for ‘Most Improved Place in Scotland’. Mrs McMurdo and Mrs McNulty attended the live virtual ceremony last night. Unfortunately we didn’t win, but Team New Cumnock will always be our winner!

In preparation for the event we asked our Pupil Council representatives to send us videos or words about why they think living in New Cumnock is so great?  Their responses were so wonderful we had to share them with you all!

A huge well done to everyone who took part in Mrs McMurdo’s Wider Achievement Challenge of Dress to Express last week. We loved seeing photos and videos of you all dressed to reflect how you feel and your explanations were super!

Apologies that these photos were missed from our video, but they are too good not to share! Thank you Mary and Miss Mason for your fabulous entries!

Appropriate Use Of Microsoft Teams

Leave a comment

Our teaching staff and Senior Leadership Team actively monitor the class use of Microsoft Teams and it has came to our attention that in some cases in recent days, class Teams pages have displayed some undesirable behaviours.

  • Please keep the general channel related to school work. Your class teacher may add a ‘chatty channel’ which will allow you to chat with your friends, but please refrain from doing this on the general channel as work posts then get lost amongst the chats.

  • Make sure that what you are typing is appropriate. Staff and your peers can see this. Any offensive of hurtful comments will be deleted. Please remember to be kind.

  • Please be mindful of what time you are accessing Teams. Try to keep this within school hours.

  • Whilst in a Live lesson, please conduct yourself as you would be encouraged to be in class, well behaved and mannerly at all times.

We encourage our parents/carers to monitor this closely too.

Thank you for your continued support.
