Well done everyone!
I am delighted to share that this year’s Ayrshire Regional Burns Competition will be held in Belmont Academy, Ayr on Saturday 1st March 2025.
The competition will take place in 5 different disciplines:
The same pupil may be entered for one, two or more disciplines,
e.g. Singing and Instrumental.
The verse speaking category is open to P1-7 pupils, the other 4 remain available for P4-7 pupils.
As always, I will be volunteering my time to work with pupils who are keen to enter. This time however, will be limited, therefore pupils will be required to also spend time practising at home.
I have very much appreciated the efforts of pupils who have entered these competitions in previous years. We have experienced lots of success in these competitions due to the high standard of talent in our New Cumnock Primary pupils!
If your child wishes to enter the competition, please complete the form below by no later than this Friday 24th January to allow me to make contact with families and complete the official paperwork that is required in order to enter.
I look forward to working with our talented pupils once again!
Mrs McNulty
