Church Lunches

Dear Parent/Carer

Church Lunches – October – December 2024

Ochiltree Parish Church is once again hosting lunches on a Thursday in the Church Hall. Lunches are usually soup and a filled roll (payment is made directly to the Church on the day).

Pupils from Primary 5, 6 and 7 will be able to attend under parental supervision starting Thursday 24th October. If you wish your child to go for a lunch at the Church on a Thursday this should be confirmed in writing and is based on the understanding that your child is under parental supervision and will only travel to and from the Church Hall.

No child will be allowed to go without written permission from their parent.

Thank you to Ochiltree Church for inviting us to take part.

We hope this information is helpful.

Yours faithfully

Depute Head Teacher

 

Cashpot for Schools

Cashpot for Schools Information 
If you have the Asda Rewards App, you can join the Cashpot for Schools scheme. Asda will then donate 0.5% of your spend, if it is over £2, to the school of your choice every time you shop.  In addition, they will give £1 to the school for every person who registers. There is no cost to you in money or rewards points.
We would be delighted if you chose Ochiltree Primary. However, there is no obligation to do so. Please do not feel that you have to change your shopping habits just for us! 
If you do decide to support the school, thank you from us all.
