A huge thank you to our Parent Council and #OurOnthank community for organising and attending the #BigBurnsNightIn on Friday evening. We had over 60 families and staff members sign up to the quiz night, which had us all testing our general knowledge on all things Scottish!

Our night also featured our guest piper, Ryan Hume, and LIVE performances from our overall stage winners from the whole school Scottish Poetry Competition. All of our poetry entrants did a fantastic job – we are immensely proud of you all.

It was then over to our community who held an anonymous vote, and after watching all poetry performances, crowned Elise Mc from P1M our overall winner – Congratulations Elise!
