Thursday 18th January: School is open and school buses are running. Prelims are cancelled and a rescheduled timetable will be posted on website as soon as possible.
School Re-zoning Proposal
The detailed proposal being consulted on is to re-zone the Mid Forest area of South Cumbernauld which is adjacent to Abronhill, from the Greenfaulds High School catchment area to the Cumbernauld Academy catchment area (see maps on the attached document for more details of the area concerned). This will ensure that pupils who reside in the Mid Forest area are zoned for the same secondary school as all other pupils who reside within the proposed Abronhill Primary School catchment area.
Below are links to the parent letter and the consultation document.

GAELIC ROCK BAND, LÀN CHOMAIS
We are absolutely delighted to say that our Gaelic Rock band, Làn Chomais, will be releasing their debut single on Thursday 7th December. The song is a brand new Gaelic Christmas song called ‘S e Nolloag a th’ ann! (It’s Christmas!) and, as well as the band, it features backing vocals from over 1000 pupils!
All of S1, 2 & 3 here at Greenfaulds were recorded, as were every pupil in Condorrat Primary and in Baird Memorial Primary. The track is phenomenal and is somewhat of a departure for traditional Gaelic song!
Làn Chomais are;
Emily Robertson – Vocals / Piano
Jessica Muir – Fiddle
Eilidh Miller – Clarsach
Ava MacKonnon – Drums / Flute / Vocals
Craig Yule – Guitar
Jacob Spence also guests with the band on Bass for this track.
‘S e Nollaig a th’ ann! Will be available from Thursday 7th Dec for download from ITunes, Amazon, Google and Spotify. If enough people download the song we may just have a GHS band in the Scottish Christmas Download Charts!!!!
