INTER-HOUSE PUMPKIN CARVING COMPETITION

Despite the Covid-19 pandemic curtailing many of the normal inter-house events in the school, the senior house captains and prefects ran a pumpkin carving competition for their fellow S5 and S6 pupils on Friday 30th October. The event followed all social distancing and enhanced hygiene guidelines but also delivered a much-needed injection of fun into the school’s Halloween celebrations. Many of the pumpkins modelled fantastically spooky designs but in the end it was Lorne house who grabbed first place in both the fifth year and sixth year competition.

I Bike Parent and Carer Survey 2020

This year, your child’s school will be participating in Sustrans’ I Bike project. Your child’s school might have also participated during the previous academic year. I Bike delivers a variety of classroom based activities and events to promote active travel to school. During the national Covid-19 lockdown, I Bike also delivered online activities including the I Bike Olympics over the summer.

We are interested in your thoughts on what could make active travel easier for your child. If your child engaged with I Bike during the lockdown school closures from March to July 2020, we are also interested in your experience of these activities.

Please complete this survey to help us evaluate and continue to improve the project. It should take around 10 minutes to complete. If you want to find out more about the survey you can contact us at IBikeMonitoring@sustrans.org.uk.
