P7 Residential 2025

Our P7s and accompanying staff had the best time and made memories that will last a lifetime!

We had such a busy few days, and enjoyed a huge variety of activities ranging from Paddleboarding and Windsurfing to Archery and Team Building.

We feasted like kings and queens with rolls and sausage/bacon/egg for breakfast, soup and rolls for lunch, and burgers and pizza for dinner (in addition to the numerous snacks and endless cups of tea!)

A huge thank you to all the great staff and instructors at the Galloway Activity Centre!

Please keep an eye on Learning Journals for more uploads from Mrs Frew.  Here is a wee taster of photos below.

Swimming Lessons

We are extremely grateful to our wonderful Parent Council who were successful in being granted funding from the Small Wind Farms, which was used to cover the cost of swimming lessons for the whole school.

Swimming is a life skill, and water safety is something we, as a school, are keen to promote and support across all stages.

We are very fortunate that we have a super swimming facility within walking distance of our school.

Each child in our school was granted a 4 week block of swimming lessons at no cost to our families, something we know everyone will be extremely grateful for.

We were extremely impressed with the number of participants we had in each class at their weekly lesson and know our children had lots of fun taking part.

P7 Residential Trip 2025

The time is getting closer for our P7s to head away on their Residential Trip, so to help with preparations, please find a wee reminder of the Kit List attached with suggestions of what to pack.

Please remember, that children are responsible for taking their own luggage, so be wary to not overpack!

Medication

Please also note, all medication which is required to be taken which is not currently kept in school, must have a medical form completed by a parent/carer (these can be sourced from the main office) and medicine handed into school on Tuesday before we leave. Children should not be packing any medication in their luggage, this will be the responsibility of staff to carry.

Technology

Mobile phones and other forms of technology are not permitted. Mrs McNulty and Mrs Frew will be taking lots of videos and pictures which will be shared on our communication platforms throughout the trip. Should you need to contact your child in an emergency, please contact the school and the school will contact Mrs McNulty or Mrs Frew.

Our days and evenings will be filled with lots of activities, however should your child wish to take something to entertain themselves with, I would encourage bringing cards/dominoes/a book. Something that is small to fit in their luggage.

If you have any questions or queries. Please contact Mrs McNulty or Mrs Frew.
