We have a house system with pupils organised into gem colour groups across P1-7 allowing our young people to be rewarded with house points both individually and collectively.

Our houses:

  • Diamond
  • Sapphire
  • Ruby
  • Topaz
  • Amethyst
  • Emerald

Our children vote for House Captains and Vice Captains on an annual basis. These children provide a vital role in school as young leaders.

Our 2025-2026 House Captains and Vice Captains are:

 

Diamonds

Don – Vice Captain

Words for the World

Words for the World

Before the October holidays a number of pupils from across the school submitted entries for a competition called “Words for the World” which was being run by the Scotland’s National Centre for Languages. Pupils were to share a message that they had for the world in relation to COP 26 and what they hoped it would achieve. The judges were very impressed with all of the entries submitted from Hyndland Primary and we are pleased to announce that two of these entries have been shortlisted for the final on Wednesday 17th of November.

We are very lucky to have so many languages spoken within our school community and are very proud of these pupils for sharing them with us.

Have a look at some of the entries below.
