RSHP Parent Steering Group

November 2, 2023 Mrs McNulty Leave a comment

RSHP Video Resources

Members of our parent body have raised concerns about the content of Relationships Sexual Health and Parenting (RSHP) lessons and have already highlighted their intention to extract their children from this area of the curriculum.

As part of our School Improvement Plan, Mrs McNulty is therefore looking to create a Parent Group to develop knowledge and understanding, as well as confidence, within our parents and carers, to ensure effective delivery and outcomes of RSHP here at New Cumnock Primary.

Is this something you feel strongly about or feel you have little knowledge of? Do you have time to join us to share your thoughts or questions?

Please complete the Form below and Mrs McNulty will contact all parents who have registered, to arrange a meeting in the near future.

PE kits

October 9, 2023 Mrs McNulty Leave a comment

A reminder of class PE days can be found in the ‘Important Information’ section above.

PE kit must be brought in to school on these days. (This can be left in school bags or hanging on pegs in a kit bag).

Shorts and suitable indoor shoes are required. No football strips allowed. Older children may find it more comfortable having a change of top to change in to too.

It would be helpful if jewellery was removed and long hair tied back on these days too.

Failure to have the correct kit, will mean your child cannot participate in PE.

If you require support with this, please contact the school.

P6 and P7 Loch Doon Water Safety Awareness Training

June 8, 2023 Mrs McNulty Leave a comment

Today, P6 and P7 an outdoor water safety awareness course at Loch Doon.

We learned about the hidden hazards within and around the water and how to correctly use the life-saving equipment strategically positioned around the loch. Both classes received essential lifesaving skills training including CPR awareness and defib training and were taught how to float in the water, should they find themselves in danger. They also learned invaluable information about cold-water shock, which is one of the main causes of drowning in Scotland.

A huge thank you to Scottish Fire and Rescue, Police Scotland, Royal National Lifeboat Institution, Loch Doon Ranger Service, Forestry and Land Scotland for their informative sessions.
