Preloved Halloween Costumes
One of our Captains will be overseeing our Preloved Halloween Costumes stall at our Parent’s Evening tomorrow night.
If you are having a clear out and have any old costumes which no longer fit your child that you would like to donate, please send them in to school tomorrow and these will be made available to our families at Parent’s Evening.
Don’t forget our Halloween Fun Day is coming up at school on Friday 25th October and our Parent Council have organised a Halloween Disco on Wednesday 30th October!
School App Calendar
Parents/carers,
We have been working hard to continue to improve our communications. Our Safer Schools Scotland App is our main means of communication about important information, such as events. In order to ensure our families have information about school events at their fingertips, we have generated a school online calendar which can be accessed through the Calendar page within the app. Follow the instructions below to access the calendar.
Open the Safer Schools Scotland App. You must ensure you have entered the school PIN code to be able to access NCPS notifications. Please contact the school office if you require this PIN.
Swipe across the homepage tiles until you find the Calendar tile.
You will now be able to click to view which events are being held throughout the school each day.
We will continue to update this throughout the session as events arise. We aim to give our families as much notice as possible.
We hope you find this feature useful. If you have any questions or queries about it, please ring the main office or contact Mrs McNulty via email. (danielle.mcnulty@eastayrshire.org.uk)

S1 Transition ‘Tea @ 3’
Calling all new S1’s that transitioned from New Cumnock Primary School!
As promised, Mrs McNulty 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 NEXT SESSION WILL BE THIS FRIDAY 27TH SEPTEMBER 2024 @ 3PM. S1 PUPILS ARE REMINDED THAT THEY MUSTÂ 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!
