A’ cuir daffodils.

Abair gun d’fhuair sinn aimsir math fhads a bha sinn a cuir na daffodils againn. Tapadh leibhse a h-uile duine a chuidich!

Thank you to those who were available and helped us plant our daffodil bulbs today. Hopefully we will see the results of our hard work in the spring. The children certainly enjoyed their day and I’m sure they will sleep well tonight.

Update – Telephone Fault

12/12/14   11.30am

BT has now been able to identify the fault that has caused the failure of the school’s phonelines. A vital piece of equipment that manages the phonelines has been damaged in the recent powercuts and lightning strikes. 

BT engineers are unable, at this stage, to give us a timescale for the fault to be fixed. In the mean-time, the school’s main 820230 number will be automatically re-routed to Tolsta School and they will arrange for information to be forwarded to Sgoil a’ Bhac. Alternatively, the school can be contacted via e-mail backschool@gnes.net.

As our Cashless Catering system is updated with payments over the phoneline, we are unable to monitor pupil accounts during the period of this fault. Pupils will continue to have meal costs deducted daily and accounts will be fully updated when the issue has been resolved.

Our apologies for the inconvenience that this issue has caused and we hope to have it resolved as soon as possible.

School Christmas Performances

This year, we will be hosting two seasonal concert performances. The main school concert ‘Cinderella’ will take place on Tuesday 16th December at 7.00pm. Ticket availability will be limited so please make sure that booking slips are returned promptly. Tickets are free-of-charge but a collection will be made at the door in aid of Bethesda.

In addition, we will be holding a special ‘Seall Seo’ performance of ‘Santa agus na Paidhs aig Gordon Diesel’, a Christmas play written and performed by our Gaelic Medium pupils in conjuction with Proiseact na Ealan. This performance begins at 7.30pm on Thursday 18th December. Tickets are free-of-charge but a collection will be made at the door for School Funds.

A booking form and information letter for both concerts is attached below.
