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.

Please see the images below for details of the Future Fridays programme on 10^th and 17^th June. If your child is interested in attending the tie dye club to tie dye an item of clothing, they should speak to Miss Small.

The school timetable will change on Monday 6th June 2022.  All new S5 & S6 pupils should return to school and report to the Assembly Hall on the bell where they will be issued their new timetables.

The new S2-S4 year groups will be issued their new timetable on Wednesday 1st June 2022 in class and report to their Period 1 class on Monday 6th June as shown on their new timetable.
