New Cumnock Primary School Prize Giving 2020

Today we are delighted to share our Prize Giving ceremony with you all.  It is not how we envisaged our ceremony to be, as we love it when we all gather in the church at this time of year to celebrate your successes.  Nevertheless, we have worked together to mark this momentous day in our school calendar and we hope you enjoy it!  So sit down, get a cup of tea and enjoy our Prize Giving ceremony from the comfort of your own home.

We will begin with Mrs McMurdo’s Head Teacher Speech.

No Prize Giving is complete without a few words (or a tune) from our beloved Minister, Rev. Cuthbert.

Thank you to all our certificate winners for coming to school last Friday to be awarded with their certificates.  We are delighted to share these with you now.

Now onto our Hunter award winners.  Each year, one child from each class is awarded this prestigious award.  Listen carefully as each teacher shares their reasons for choosing their award winner this year.  We want to extend a huge thank you to The Hunter Foundation for their continued support of our school and our annual Prize Giving.

And now onto our wonderful P7s.  This is certainly not the way we wanted your school years with us to end.  We are extremely proud of you all and cannot wait till we can have you all back to celebrate your time with us.  We wish you all the very best of luck in your future.

Some final words for our P7 Leavers.  A huge thank you to Mrs McTurk for sharing this poem with us, it is wonderful! Click on the link below if you wish to download a copy to keep.

Last but not least, we are sadly saying goodbye to 4 members of staff this session.  A huge virtual hug goes out to Mrs Morton, Miss White, Mrs Sussman-Bryden and Miss Ritchie.  We have loved having you all as part of Team New Cumnock and hope our paths cross again one day.

And this marks the end of our Virtual Prize Giving ceremony.  Thank you for tuning in.  We hope you all have a lovely, relaxing summer holiday and we look forward to seeing you all again in August.

Stay safe everyone.
