Christmas Concert 2013

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERAThe 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:

  • The pupils for all their hard work in learning their song words and script lines and for helping us to prepare for the event.
  • All the staff who helped children with their songs and words; making props and costumes; painting the backdrop; preparing the hall for the performance and supervising the children during the concert.
  • Mrs Duncan and Mr Maciver who worked with us to learn the songs and music.
  • Mary Stewart, our school cook for making and donating the Christmas cake that was raffled for Bethesda and DR Macdonald from Bethesda for attending the event.
  • The Parent Council whose raffle proceeds will go to supporting the work of the school.
  • All the parents, families and members of our community who came along and supported the concert.

Nursery Hours Consultation

Screen Shot 2013-12-05 at 17.25.23Thank 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.
