Basics Food Bank

Basics Food Bank, the Pupil Council and myself wish to express a very sincere thank you, thank you, thank you to all the staff and pupils who contributed to this week’s collection. The Pupil Council were exceptionally busy this morning, organising almost 2000 items of food. Wow! Nearly 2000! This will go such a long way in helping local families. The House competition was unbelievably close, neck and neck between Arran and Skye. Skye just managed to overtake at the very end, winning by only 2 more tins of food. Well done to all three houses! It was an absolutely AMAZING effort put in by our fabulous Coltness pupils  

SLT Remit Update

Congratulations to Mr MacPherson who joins us again on the school’s Senior Leadership Team. He will become the main point of contact on an interim basis for Arran House beyond any contact with PTs Pupil Support (Guidance Teachers). We are currently in the process of trying to find a replacement for his PT Pupil Support post. Mrs Anderson on an interim basis will also continue as SQA Coordinator. As always however your main and first point of contact with the school should be your young person’s PT Pupil Support.

Open European Championships

One of our first years has done exceptionally well in the Open European Championships in Poland at the weekend. He reached the quarter finals for patterns and the semi finals for sparring where he picked up a bronze medal!
