Dinnae forget your Caddy!

Help us fight Climate Change and be in with the chance of winning a £50 East Ayrshire gift card.

A whopping 69% of food waste in East Ayrshire is not being recycled.

To encourage more people to recycle their food waste, the Sustainability & Climate Change Team has launched a new recycling at home campaign – Dinnae forget your Caddy!

The campaign was successfully rolled out last year in schools and Early Childhood Centres across East Ayrshire but now the team need your help to raise Community Caddy Counts.

Support the campaign by naming your caddy (Caddy McCaddyface is absolutely acceptable) and register the name online

Write the name in permanent marker on your caddy, then all you have to do is present your caddy each week to be entered into the ‘Favourite Caddy of the Month’ draw.

The monthly draw will run from November through to May, and the recycling crews will select one ‘named’ caddy at random to win a £50 East Ayrshire gift card.

You could also encourage your neighbours, family and friends to take part in the campaign and make it a bit competitive. Let us know if you encourage anyone to start recycling.

**Please note that Just Jeans, at Unit 23 Highhouse Industrial Estate Auchinleck, is having a 50% discount on all school wear starting on 5th November. Just Jeans is one of our suppliers of school uniform so if you wish to stock up in advance this is a good chance to get a bargain!

All Primary 7 pupils transferring to Robert Burns Academy in August 2025 will attend two transition days in June 2025. Dates for your diary are the 10th and 11th June 2025. Any pupil taking part in this session’s Enhanced Transition programme will be issued a calendar of dates in a separate letter.

Staff from the Academy have already visited the P7s and will be making further visits to meet the children throughout the session.

Parents of all P7 pupils will be invited to attend an Information Evening on the 26th May 2025. Further information will follow.

Thank you very much to everyone who kindly donated food items at our Harvest Hoe-Down.  The donations have been given to  local churches’ Food Banks for  distribution to families in need.
