Over the coming week, pupils are being asking to bring in any donations of food (normally suitable for a food bank) as part of a House competition. This is to support families within our own Coltness community, who could do with a little extra help this Christmas. As well as this, our breakfast club would also benefit from any donations to help pupils with a bite to eat during the day. Donations can be given to your child’s PTPS, or placed on the tables in the front foyer.
