Erskine Hospital

On Wednesday 11th December 4 pupils from P7 visited Erskine Hospital to hand over a cheque for £150. They raised the funds by selling glitter tattoos, toys, bracelets and knitted school hats during playtimes and lunchtimes and at the Christmas fair. On the visit they got a tour of the hospital and met some of the residents. Erskine has been caring for Scotland’s veterans since 1916; re-building shattered lives, restoring dignity and providing first-class care to ex-Service men and women. In the past year the charity has cared for 1,100 veterans.

Supporting Syria

 

Supporting Syria

Tomorrow is “Wear your Trainers” to school day. This is being held to raise awareness of the dreadful events happening in Syria. Any money raised is being sent off to the “Save the Children” charity. The Pastoral Council are keen to support their peers in identifying the rights and responsibilities of children and have recognised that in Syria children’s rights are not being received. They hope that the donation will help to deliver some of these rights to needy children.
