It was great to see so many Parents at our recent Meet the Staff evening, where everyone had the opportunity to see what the year ahead has in store. Feedback from the evening was extremely positive, and it was great to have Parents signing up to help with the various events we have planned.
A copy of the evening’s presentation is attached for information.
Busby Primary said a sad farewell to our outgoing P7 year group on Friday 24th June. The P7s led a wonderful and emotional service at Busby Parish Church before coming back to the school to get their shirts and yearbooks signed.
All pupils and staff lined up to cheer them out of the school when the bell rang at 1pm. Class of 2015/16 – we will miss you!
We have 2 entries in this years competition, one from each of our 1st and 2nd level skills acadamies.
The theme being the Queens 90th Birthday I am sure you will agree they both look great.
If you are planning on visiting Greenbank Gardens over the weekend to see the wheelbarrow entries you will receive a 50% discount on entry if you mention your child has an entry from Busby Primary School.

A special thank you to Michelle Sweeney who applied for a grant on behalf of the school to Whitelees Wind Farm.
