Learning Together National Network Webinars
Careers Advisers from Skills Development Scotland have now delivered the webinar for parents and carers which gave an overview of Scottish Apprenticeships. During the webinar the advisers gave information about Foundation, Modern and Graduate Apprenticeships. This was the latest in a series of webinars aimed at supporting parents and carers to help young people make smart career choices.
For those that were unable to make the event, the video, which includes full subtitles and BSL interpretation can be found here: https://youtu.be/qqA0SVRSTZk
Scotland Supports Ukraine Refugees
Scotland is well known for supporting people in need of refuge and safety.
Article 38 of the United Nations Convention for the Rights of the Child says that “governments around the world must do everything they can to protect and care for children affected by war and armed conflicts.”
This Friday (25/3/22), we are asking all children to come to school dressed in the colours of the Ukrainian flag- YELLOW and BLUE.
We are asking all those who are able, to pay a £1 donation via ParentPay for the Ukrainian Refugee Appeal.
Let’s raise as much money as possible and show our support for Ukrainian refugees.
We are looking forward to seeing everyone in their YELLOW and BLUE outfits!
Ayrshire Burns Competition 2022
I am delighted to share that this year’s Regional Burns Competition will be held in Belmont Academy, Ayr on Saturday 11th June 2022.
The competition will take place in 5 different disciplines:
- Verse Speaking
- Singing
- Instrumental
- Bagpiping
- Chanter
The competition is open for P1-P7 pupils.
Although I have not yet returned from Maternity Leave, 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 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 attached contact form by no later than the 1st April 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!
