Last Wednesday saw Loch Ness Corridor join in with our local primary schools as part of the Community Unity initiative at the Annual Eastwood High School Ceilidh. Previously known as ‘Twinning’, Community Unity is the extension of the anti-sectarian message developed in both St. Cadoc’s and Crookfur Primary Schools.
A busy programme of events is scheduled throughout the school year and Isobel Mair School has now been invited to take part, taking our place as active participants within our new school community.
The Ceilidh was a great success and was well attended by Primary 7 pupils from Crookfur and St. Cadoc’s and a mix of pupils from our Primary Department.
Pupils were entertained by our Scottish Country Dancing Team, “Reels on Wheels” and an ambulant dance was also performed to a great reception. Well done to all our pupils!
This Thursday we will welcome pupils from St Cadoc’s who will be performing for our pupils in our MOD. More details to follow.
Classes Jura and Orkney are off to the Palace Theatre in Kilmarnock this morning to see Snow White……………… oh no they’re not!
We had some very excited pupils in classes this morning as they prepared for their outing to the pantomime.
Hopefully some of the pupils will give us an audio blog about the visit on return to school.

We welcomed Religious Leaders of Scotland for a tour of the school and to meet some of the pupils before a National GLOW event hosted by pupils from Isobel Mair, Williamwood, St Ninians and Eastwood High Schools.
Our school’s junior choir including pupils from the Family Centre performed “Grow” for our visitors and then our Reels on Wheels, wheelchair dance group performed two dances for them.
The GLOW event, the impact of religion and spirituality on Health and Wellbeing promoted a lively debate amongst our pupils and religious leaders and our pupils were delighted to be given the opportunity to have their questions answered.
Our junior choir sing for our visitors.
