Jeans for Genes Day

Jeans for Genes Day

Today we are taking part in the Jeans for Genes Day to help raise money for more research into genetic disorders.

All the staff and pupils are allowed to wear jeans to school as long as they make a minimum donation of £1 towards a very worthwhile cause.

Here are some of our primary pupils who are taking part in the fundraising event.

Delighted to say we raised £129.28 to help support Jeans for Genes Day.

Olympic Torch comes to IMS

 Yesterday we were very fortunate to have a visit from Martin Myers who was one of the Olympic torch bearers. He came along to talk to us about his experience and show off the real Olympic Torch.

Everyone was excited to meet Martin and hear his story, of how he was selected to run with the torch. Afterwards we all got the chance to hold the torch and have our photograph taken.

The rain came and stayed with us at Ardentinny……………. but it never stoppped the fun and new friendships being formed with our buddies from Williamwood, St Ninian’s, Eastwood, Mearns Castle, Woodfarm and St Luke’s High schools.

The Make Your Dreams True 8 weekend was a great success and lots of new skills were gained from activities such as team building, archery, gorge walking, canoeing and rock hopping and everyone left the weekend with a great sense of satisfaction and excitement.
