We are minimising the number of external visitors to the school for non-essential events and large gatherings which might precipitate the spread of any illness. It is with a heavy heart that due to the current uncertainty surrounding COVID -19 we have made the following decisions to cancel a number of forthcoming events.<\/p>\n<p>My thanks to the pupils and staff for their work and support for these events. Hopefully the passion and joy of our young people experienced in the preparation and rehearsing for these popular events will help overcome the natural disappointment of our pupils and staff .<\/p>\n<p>As the COVID-19 situation is changing rapidly, we will continue to update parents with information on our support for pupils.<\/p>\n<p>Cancelled events:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>All PE \/ HWB co-curricular clubs and activities<\/li>\n<li>S3 Parents\u2019 Evening \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0(Thursday 19<sup>th<\/sup> March)<\/li>\n<li>Higher Maths\u00a0Revision Class\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0(Saturday 21<sup>st<\/sup> March)<\/li>\n<li>Afternoon Tea for Life \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 (Saturday 21<sup>st<\/sup> March)<\/li>\n<li>Inter Faith Quiz\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 (Tuesday 24<sup>th<\/sup> March)<\/li>\n<li>Dance and Gymnastics Show\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0(Wednesday 25<sup>th<\/sup> March)<\/li>\n<li>Fashion Show &amp; Rehearsals\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 (Thursday 26<sup>th<\/sup> March)<\/li>\n<li>Friends of St Ninian&#8217;s\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0(Tuesday 31<sup>st<\/sup> March)<\/li>\n<li>Spring Concert \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 (Thursday 2<sup>nd<\/sup> April)<\/li>\n<li>ERC Dance Championships<\/li>\n<li>ERC Convenors Awards<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>We will continue to keep you up to date with all school matters via our website, Twitter and Group call email system.<\/p>\n<p>We thank all parents for your understanding of our decisions.<\/p>\n<p>Best wishes<\/p>\n<p>John Docherty<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear Parents We continue to review our position to minimise the risk of COVID-19 to our school community.
