Auchengeich Colliery 56th Annual Memorial Service

It was drizzly day as the choirs from Glenmanor and St Michael’s Primaries waited patiently for the service to begin. They sung beautifully  ‘Give Me Joy in My Heart’ and ‘Going Home’  and their behaviour was excellent. Well done everyone!

There was a great turnout from the community to support the service.

Willie Doolan, Secretary opened the service and Danny Taylor, Chairman, remembered the 47 miners who lost their lives 56 years ago. David Collins, from Moodieburn & District played while the names were read out. Then there was the laying of the wreaths.

Rev Mark Malcolm read from the Bible then Elaine Smith, MSP,  and Provost Jim Robertson, NLC, both read a dedication and Father Michael Briody said a prayer.

Nicky Wilson, President of NUM read a dedication and Captain John Parry, Salvation Army read the benedition at the end of the service.

Parents’ Open Event 18 September 2015

We are all looking forward to seeing you at our parents’ open event this Friday! Please arrive at 9 and join us in the hall for tea or coffee.

The Parent Council will launch their Christmas card activity that you can complete with your child during the open event.

Carolyn McKeown and Jacqueline Bryce, Adult Literacy and Numeracy Support Workers, will introduce themselves  and ask how they can help you through a short questionnaire.

The bell will ring at 9.30am and our senior pupils will take you to the classrooms, starting with the ground floor and working upwards. You will see your child’s teacher and have the opportunity to join in your child’s learning until 10.30am. We hope to see you all there!
