Another week has passed very quickly; in fact it is December very soon!

Over the next two weeks our two trips will be going ahead.

Miss Glen has organised a trip for all pupils at Bounce Station, East Kilbride. The trip is next Friday, 2nd December. Please make sure you have returned all consent forms as soon as possible. Here are more details: Bounce Station contains an inflatable park with super bounce pillows, inflatable slides, sweepers, ninja run, Jelly Mountain and a climbing wall (no trampolines). The cost of the trip is £12 per pupil which includes the socks required to use the equipment and transport costs. ParentPay will be set up for interested pupils.

The Aladdin trip for 15th December is also now organised. Please return any outstanding consent forms to Miss Macdonald asap.

We also have exciting news about the Christmas Fair which will once again go ahead. This will be at lunchtime on Thursday 16th December and more details will follow. Each year, as well as having lots of fun, we manage to raise funds to subsidise our trips and events. Hopefully this year will be no different. I look forward to sharing photos of our preparations over the next few weeks.

Some of our senior pupils will continue with their prelims into December. They have been doing so well thus far. We wish them the best of luck.

I hope everyone has has a wonderful week. This one seems to have passed very quickly.
Miss Taylor’s class have been busy making cushions. They have done really well and their crafting skills look great!

Senior pupils are continuing to enjoy their college courses and we have had very positive feedback from the lecturers and college staff.

Over the next month there are two trips organised: the Aladdin trip is now organised. Please return any outstanding consent forms to Miss Macdonald asap. Miss Glen is also organising a trip. This is to Bounce Station, East Kilbride on Friday 2nd December. Here are more details:

Bounce Station contains an inflatable park with super bounce pillows, inflatable slides, sweepers, ninja run, Jelly Mountain and a climbing wall (no trampolines). The cost of the trip is £12 per pupil which includes the socks required to use the equipment and transport costs. If your child is interested in this trip please let Mr Moffat by know Monday 21st November.

Some of our senior pupils will sit prelims from next week. We wish them the best of luck. There are alternative prelim dates for some pupils and subjects which will take place later in December.

And finally, Jayden turned 18 this week. As Jayden now spends most of his time in mainstream, he kept this very quiet. But we would finally like to wish Jayden a very, very happy belated birthday.

Hi there

A few pieces of news this week – apologies for no update last week.
The tickets for the pantomime on 15th December are now booked and consent forms sent home. Please return these to Miss Macdonald over the next couple of weeks. We will let pupils know arrangements for lunches, uniform and any other questions at a CSS assembly nearer the time.

A reminder that S4 work experience takes place in January. Pupils are expected to find their own placements. Miss Macdonald is looking at possible alternatives to this for pupils struggling to find a placement.

At our fortnightly assemblies Miss Norman and Miss Jamieson spoke to pupils in S3 and above about the Bronze Duke of Edinburgh Award which they have the opportunity to take part in. All S3-S6 pupils have been signed up to this and can then decide whether they would like to take part or not. Further details will be given as classes are set up and final decisions are made.

College placements are still ongoing and pupils are enjoying them very much. On Tuesday Casper at his independent travelling course was able to travel on the bus to Silverburn. While there, the class had a wander of the shops. Casper really enjoyed the Asterix and Obelix books in Waterstones!

The S3 boys took part in some kite building and flying. They certainly had the weather for it!
