Fitfest Ambassadors

This week we were visited by Tammy from the New Cumnock Development Trust who came to tell us all about Fitfest 2026 and how our P6 and P7 pupils have the opportunity to apply to be a Fitfest Ambassador.

Application forms were sent home and the closing date for these to be delivered to the NCDT office is this Wednesday 17th September. Applications will be shortlisted and interviews held soon after in school.

This is a wonderful opportunity for our young people to develop leadership skills and to represent their school and community.

If your child didn’t get an application form and wishes to submit one, please email Mrs McNulty and she will get one sent home on Monday.
