Paralympic Hero Visit

On the 10th of September we we honoured with a visit from Airdrie born Angela McDowell, a multi medal winner at the 1988 South Korean Paralympic Games. She talked to us about how she developed her swimming skills despite her sight problems and how she went on to win over 200 medals in National, European and International championships as well as her 8 Olympic medals. She let some of the children wear her medals too. She was an inspiration to all of us. Thank you Angela for sharing your story with us.

Ahoy Me Hearties!

Kirkshaws Primary School was taken over on Thursday the 20th of September by a band of Pirates! Pupils within the school were invited to create a pirate hat to celebrate ‘International talk like a Pirate Day”. A special pirate menu was also on offer that day in the school canteen. The winner of the best hat won a micro scooter which was supplied by our catering services. Well done to everyone who took part. You all looked amazing – and very scary!
