Hello everyone

We present to you, the Netherlee Times! A wonderful group of Primary 6 pupils have been working very hard to create the first issue of our school newspaper. We hope you enjoy having a read of all the fantastic things that have been going on in the school this term. Myself and Miss McLauchlan would like to say a HUGE well done and thank you to the pupils involved in creating this newspaper.

A few parents have asked us to resend a link here to our uniform policy to help them when picking up grey, navy or other uniform items over the holiday.
Sports Week Fundraising
We had a fantastic Sports Week last week, the finals events were a great success and everyone really enjoyed their ‘fun walks’ in Linn Park. It was fantastic to see all the amazing crazy hair styles too. We would like to take this opportunity to say an enormous thank you for your very generous donations, we smashed our target of £1,000, raising an amazing £2,029.25 for the school and £718.20 for the nursery. Thank you very much, we really appreciate your support.
Parent Council (PC) Meeting Highlights
Thank you to our Parent Council for compiling the latest edition of the PC Meeting Highlights Newsletter which you can read here. I would like to thank the PC, on behalf of myself and all school and nursery staff, for its support and work throughout the past year. We very much look forward to another very successful partnership in the coming session.
P1/P2 Save the Date- a Message from the PTA!

Please note that the ice lollies being provided are made with real fruit juice and free from preservatives. If you would not like your child to take part, please send an email to their class teacher before Monday. We wish you all a restful summer holiday!
P7 Final days
P7 have had a busy week with their Graduation Assembly and Leavers party. Thank you to all parents and carers who arrived and enjoyed the Assembly despite our technical hitches! We have added the Lockerbie Video to the children’s Google classroom and they will be able to access this until next Tuesday. Access to Google classroom ceases when they leave Netherlee.
We also wanted to say a big thank you to the PTA for their generous donation of £450 towards the P7 Party. The children and staff had an amazing time and the Band were fab. A night to remember.
The P7 staff have added some Prom photos to the Google classroom as well and again these will be available for the children to access until next Tuesday.
P7a Eco Elephants
As part of our Pupil Parliament, P7a Eco Elephants have an outing. Details have been emailed to parents.
And finally… I would like to sincerely thank all pupils, staff and parents for all of your continued support and dedication towards our school.
I hope that everyone enjoys the long summer holidays and that the sun shines for us all whether here or abroad. Children, please keep safe when you are out and about having lots of fun with your friends. Parents, as always, just remember that in six and a half short weeks your children will be safely back at school again and will be off your hands!
I look forward to welcoming all children back to school on Wednesday 17th August 2022.
Have a wonderful and well deserved Summer. Stay safe and take care.
