Diary Dates

We have lots of events coming up during the month of March so keep a look out for whats happening in IMS.

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.

 Come along on Thurdsay 6th September at 10am for our monthly coffee and chat.

A chance to meet up with other parents and an opportunity to discuss and provide support in dealing with specific issues.

All welcome

Congratulations to two of our sixth year pupils who have been selected to represent the school as the Head Boy and Girl for session 2012/13.

Along with the school prefects, they were awarded their badges form Mrs Wallace after pledging to carry out their duties as Head Boy and Girl.

We wish them well in carrying out their duties and representing the school.

We hope you all had a  fabulous and peaceful Summer Holiday.

Our new term has now started and we welcomed lots of new staff and pupils to our school on wednesday morning.

At our “Getting to know you” assembly this afternoon all classes will celebrate our new term and welcome all new staff and pupils to the school.

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.

A big thank you to everyone at Newton Mearns Baptist Church for the generous donation given to the school at our assembly on Friday.

Pastor Brian More and Martin Kelly arrived at the school on Friday afternoon and presented Mrs Wallace with a cheque for £870.

The money was raised by the Mosaic Gospel Glee concert which took place on Easter Sunday at Newton Mearns Baptisit Church.

Thanks from everyone at Isobel Mair School.

Easter Service will take place on Thursday 29th March 2012 at 10am in the Isobel Mair School. All welcome

Afterwards the premier of the Official Opening DVD will be able for viewing so please come along. It’s your chance to listen to our choir and hear Fabio’s speech as well as speeches from the councillors. A memorable event for the new Isobel Mair School.

Yell have been working hard raising money this week for Sport Relief.  On Monday we visited James Hamilton Loch for a sponsored walk and run.  Some people nearly ran twice round the loch, everyone managed at least one lap.  We had a nice hot chocolate in the cafe afterwards to warm us up again, as it was a little chilly!

 In the afternoon we performed the dances and songs that we are filming for our Sport Relief video.  We’ll show it to classes on Friday at our Sport Relief event and get them to vote for their favourite!  Acts include ‘Connor Buble’, ‘Driver Craig and the Jai Who? Train’, ‘Jamie Andre’, ‘Luke Winhouse’ and ‘Fabio of the Opera’.  Get ready for some fun and laughs, all for a great cause

Check out today’s edition of the Evening Times. A 2 page article all about our new school and the official opening.  A great tribute to the late Dr Isobel Mair whom the school is named after. Dr Mair is fondly remembered in the local community and her memory is kept alive by the school and it’s fantastic facilities.

Isobel Mair School were delighted to welcome the Mair brothers  for the official opening of the new school.
Ranald Mair gave a very entertaining speech all about Dr Mair’s life and her involovement with the local community and the school and how delighted they were to still be involved after all these years.
