This event will be held on Tuesday 21st January; 11.00am to 12.00pm. You will have the chance to visit classrooms, meet staff, view resources, speak to pupils and other parents and find out about the opportunities and experiences Sgoil a’ Bhac can offer in both Gaelic and English Medium Education.
Please share this information with any parents not currently associated wht Sgoil a’ Bhac who may be interested in attending the open day.
The Christmas Concert performance ‘Snow White and the Seven Jockeys’, held on Monday night was a big success and we would like to thank the following who made it all possible:
We will be holding a special end-of-term Christmas assembly led by Rev. C I Macleod on Friday 20th December at 11.00am. We would like to extend an invitation to parents and families to attend this assembly with us.
If you would like to join us for this assembly, please contact the school office to confirm your place: 820230 or backschool@gnes.net.
Thank you to everyone who responded to the consultation about extending the hours at Sgoil Araich Loch a Tuath from August 2014. The considerable majority of responses were in favour of extending the hours by 10 minutes a day, five days a week. This would mean the Sgoil Araich would operate from 8.50am to 12.00pm daily from August 2014. The results of the consultation have now been passed to the Education Department for consideration and we hope to be able to confirm the proposals for our opening hours for August 2014 in the new year.
All concert tickets are now sold out.
We look forward to welcoming parents, families and friends to the school on Monday night for our special Christmas performance.
The Parent Council will be selling more tickets and drawing the winners of their Christmas raffle on Monday night.
LAST FEW TICKETS…
