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.

Calling all new S1’s that transitioned from New Cumnock Primary School!
As promised, we will be hosting a ‘Tea @ 3’ session to check-in with our most recent cohort of S1’s and to hear about how you have settled into life as S1s at RBA!
Our sessions will be held on Friday 26th September and Friday 3rd October 3-4pm. S1 pupils are reminded that they must enter via the Community Entrance.
This is an opportunity for new S1 pupils to check in with primary staff they trust, whilst they are still building relationships with staff at the Robert Burns Academy, and have a chat about their new school, subjects, friends, or any worries they have.
This is not compulsory for pupils, but we would love to see you!
Our P7 House Captains visited the Knockshinnoch memorial to lay a wreath to honour the 75th anniversary of the mining disaster in which 13 men lost their lives.
This is a huge part of our heritage and has been discussed with the whole school at Get Together.
