St Andrew’s Day Tea Dances 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

We were delighted to welcome so many families to our St Andrew’s Day Tea Dance. It was a day of fun and celebration and was fantastic to see everyone enjoying themselves dancing. Today’s music was provided by 2 pupils and a teacher from Kilmarnock Academy- they played all day and did a fantastic job. Well done to our P7 pupils and Mrs Carten for leading the dances. A huge thank you to Mr Swan for his exuberance in keeping it all going and entertaining us all.👏Thank you to everyone for your generous donations .⭐️

Fabulous Four from P5 Onthank

Abigail, Rowan, Lacey and Elise have been really busy over the last month, fundraising for Hillhouse Charity in Kilmarnock. They made a video to highlight their Christmas appeal for new pyjamas and toiletries for local families in need.
They attend the 15th Kilmarnock Brownies and they wanted to do their Charity badge. They chose Hillhouse to help, as they are a local charity.
They collected 56 pairs of pyjamas and numerous toiletry sets. They were delighted to deliver them all tonight. Hillhouse also delighted with their efforts! 🙂
Well done -we are all so proud of you.

Anti-Bullying Week #ListenUpRespectOurRights

What a week so far at #OurOnthank as we #ListenUp and spread awareness for respectme Scotland Anti-Bullying week campaign ‘Respect our Rights’.
We’ve seen odd socks, many a crazy hairstyle, and united in red to support Show Racism the Red Card.

Our young people have designed ‘One Kind Word’ compliment hands for each other, created Community Kindness messages for local friends, and will be led by our Pupil Council and RRS Ambassador tomorrow in their own assembly.

Join us and ‘share a smile’ with family, friends, colleagues, or someone you think needs reminding how special they are. #kindnessiskey
