Good luck to senior pupils and buddies from the local mainstream schools who are off to Ardentinny for the annual “Make Your Dreams Come True 8” weekend.
It will be a great adventure for the pupils with, sailing, rock hopping and archery a few of the activities to mention. But not to forget the talent show and the legendary disco!
Fingers crosssed the sun comes out for us!
Congratulations to some of our senior pupils who are busy preparing food for their Grow Cook Eat Showcase which takes place this afternoon.
The pupils have invited a number of important guests. Unfortunately HRH Prince Edward couldn’t make it this week but we are delighted that our parents and staff from ERC are able to come.
During our placements at Reid Kerr College and Rouken Glen Training Centre we have learned the important skills of cultivating produce such as lettuce and cucumber and then using the produce to make a tasty meal.
Parents please note:
Inductions for pupils entering mid primary and secondary departments will take place on Thursday 14th June at 1.30pm.
Primary 1 inductions will take place on Tuesday 12th June at 10am.
Good luck to some of our senior pupils who have been selected to sing in a choir with two other schools from the authority.
As the Olympic Torch Relay passes through Giffnock the choir will sing a song especially written for the event.
Hopefully the rain will stay away between 4 and 6pm for a special lifetime experience.

On Tuesday 22nd May 2012 Isobel Mair School welcomed a very special visitor to the school during the Diamond Jubilee Celebrations.
Mrs Wallace and our very own head boy Fabio welcomed His Royal Highness, Earl of Wessex to tour the school and meet all the pupils and staff.
During his tour of the school he visited many of our teaching areas including the hydrotherapy pool, sensory room, adventure room and then joined class Orkney who had compiled a ”Who wants to be a Royal Millionaire” Diamond Jubilee Quiz on the SMARTBoard showcasing the work they had researched using key points in Her Majesty, The Queen’s life.
The highlight of the tour was a special performance from “Reels on Wheels” our very own wheelchair dancing group and then his Royal Highness officially opened our Jubilee woods, unveiling a plaque to commemorate the work of the pupils in the school and then planted a tree which will hold special memories for everyone.
It was indeed a very memorable day in the life of Isobel Mair School.
Have a look at our photographs below
Isobel Mair School started their Jubilee celebrations early with a special visit from HRH Prince Edward the Earl of Wessex.
The Prince spent time talking to all of the young people whilst touring our new school.
He was particuarly impressed with Reels on Wheels and our sensory garden.
He also took part in an interactive “Who wants to be a Royal Millionaire” with class Orkney hosted by JonathonTarrant. He used the SMART Response voting system during his 50/50 question.
Photographs to follow.
Olympic fever has started early in our school.
We’ve had the “Silly Olympics” from Class Tiree, their very own adaptation of the Olympics which they showcased at the Primary Assembly.
Our very own Olympian, Steve Frew (2002 Commenwealth Gold Medalist) has been working with some of our senior pupils giving them an insight into what it’s like to be a very successful sports person.
Classes have researched all about the Olympics and have been working very hard and tomorrow we are excited to be welcoming the Olympic torch to our school. (not the real one of course!)
Have a sneak preview of some our display work which is around the school….
Classes have been working hard on the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee topic this term.
They painted pictures, created sculptures and even wrote poems to celebrate this very special event.
Have a look at some of our creations below.
