It is safe to say that Kilbowie has been a great success this year, all of the pupils have had so much fun and been a credit to the school.  We have to say thanks to Mrs Reid, Miss Tomei and Mr Power for helping them throughout the week….I am sure everyone will be ready for an early night tonight!

Another busy day with lots of new activities and experiences.  Everyone is having a great time and getting on so well!

It has been an exciting first day and night at Kilbowie for our 6 Primary Seven pupils.  After stopping at The Green Welly Stop for a snack the y arrived safely and unpacked, found their bedrooms and made them up.  That was followed by a hill walk then dinner and then back out for Night-Line where everyone is blindfolded and has to negotiate an obstacle course using their other senses.  Everyone had a great night’s sleep and are already up an raring to go for today’s activities – skiing and canoeing.

Glencryan will be CLOSED on Friday 25th and Monday 27th May for the May Weekend.

The school will be OPEN AS USUAL  on  Thursday 23rd May as we are not being used as a polling station in the elections.

My name is Shay and I am a pupil in  Glencryan Primary Department.  I am going to be helping the teachers update the school website with pictures and information.  I might also put on some of my own pictures like the one you can see here.

At our Primary Parents’ Night on Weds 14^th November we asked parents for feedback regarding their child’s progress, communication with the school and parents night itself.  From those who responded the feedback was 100% positive which is testament to the marvellous work carried out by all staff across the department.  Thank you to all who responded, it is good to know that the work of the teaching and support staff is appreciated by the parents as much as it is by the school management team.
