Towards the end of last session the Parent Council were successful in receiving a grant from the HWB fund. This money will be used to make upgrades to the courtyard garden. This work has already began and we look forward to watching it develop and grow! Re-purposed tyres have now been painted and placed in the garden areas ready for classes challenges. A mural, created by local artist Frank Carty from Artisan Artworks, using children’s drawings to represent our school house system will be installed soon.
The Parent Council sourced additional funding from Newmilns Lottery to enable all children in the school and ECC to have an Easter treat.
The newsletter below summaries some of the Parent Council work over the first two terms of the school year.
