CnaG ASC Consultation

Leave a comment

Following meetings held recently with CNES and CnaG regarding the proposed changes to the provision of Gaelic After School Club at Sgoil a’ Bhac, a consultation is being circulated to establish the level of interest in a paid club run by CnaG.

In the first instance, places will be made available to pupils in Gaelic Medium classes and, if there are places remaining, a further consultation will be held for English Medium to see if there’s  interest in EM children attending the paid Gaelic club.

We’d be grateful if parents from Sgoil Araich Loch a Tuath and GM1-6 classes could complete the attached consultation slip (page 2) and return it to school as soon as possible.

Parent & Carer Survey – May 2015

Leave a comment

During the month of May, the school is running a major self-evaluation exercise to help us gather evidence about our strengths and to help us identify areas for improvement. As part of this process we want to gather the views and options of our parent group in both the school and Sgoil Araich Loch a Tuath.

We would be very grateful if parents/carers could spare a few minutes to complete the survey below. Please answer any questions that are applicable to you and there is a space for additional comments on the last page. Although the survey is anonymous, you can add your name at the end, if you wish.

Please return it to the school by Friday 22nd May 2015

Easter Assembly 2015

Leave a comment

Following this morning’s eclipse, the whole school went to Back Free Church for a special early Easter Assembly. The service, led by Rev Macleod, was excellent and we’d like to say a huge thanks to Back Free Church for their welcoming hospitality and the gift of Fairtrade Easter eggs and a leaflet containing the Easter story. We hope that the parents, families and friends who joined us enjoyed the service.

EuroQuiz 2015

Leave a comment

A team of P6 pupils from Sgoil a’ Bhac were competing today in the Western Isles heat of the annual EuroQuiz competition. This year, eight teams from across Lewis, Harris and the Uists went head-to-head in the quiz that tests their knowledge of European geography, culture, history and language as well as the European Union.

The Sgoil a’ Bhac team did superbly well again this year, performing strongly in all the rounds. They finished in second place, just a few points behind Sgoil an Rubha. As the top two teams, they went head-to-head in the final, which Sgoil an Rubha went on to win 10-5.

Congratulations to the team from Sgoil an Rubha! This was the second year in a row that we’ve finished as runners-up in the competition.
