Coltness Christmas Concert
The Christmas Concert will be held on Thursday 15th December at 7pm. This will be held in the school and, whilst we don’t have a confirmed list of performers etc., it is very likely that there will be an extremely high number of pupils taking part this year in various groups/capacities. Tickets cost £3 (Under 12s go free!) and are now on sale from the music department! If you (and your family!) would like to purchase ticket(s), please let us know and we’ll make sure we reserve them for you!
NLC Christmas Concert
The school band will be taking part in the NLC Christmas Concert next Thursday (8th December). This concert will include music groups from other Primary and Secondary Schools in the authority as well as the NLC Pipe Band and NLC Jazz Ensemble. This is taking place at Motherwell Concert Hall and it should be a fantastic experience for our pupils (particularly since 2/3 of the school band have never taken part in a concert like this ever before.)
