We collected £68.75 worth of donations for LGBTYS at Thursday’s Pride Picnic!! Thank you and well done to everyone who got involved it was an amazing turn out and so much fun. We are making Cumbernauld Academy and Scotland in general the best place to grow up for LGBTQ+ young people
Because Battle of the Bands didn’t happen in person this year the band got to go and record in a professional studio and this is the result.
One of the P7 pupils attending the Transition days has a Severe Peanut Nut Allergy. Could we ask that pupils/staff refrain from bringing/consuming any NUT products for the following days – Monday 13th, Tuesday 14th and Wednesday 15th June.
Thank you.
This June for Pride month on Thursday 23rd June marks our fabulous Pride Picnic in partnership with LGBTYS for the second year in a row, and we want to go out with a BANG! 🏳️🌈
We will be holding a Rainbow Non-Uniform Day, where you can raid your cupboards for as many bits of colourful clothing and accessories to make a cheerful fit for the last Thursday of the school year. There will be donation tubs going about to collect any pennies you can spare for such a fabulous cause, LGBTYS.
Our Pride Picnic will be held at lunchtime out on the grass in the yard, where there will be music, games, a piñata, snacks and lots of fun times, so come join us and get into the Pride summer spirit.
