The pupils made a film about the dangers of knife crime. Last week, they joined pupils from other schools across North Lanarkshire for a film premiere and Celebration of Success event.<\/p>\n Tickets for \u2018Disco Inferno\u2019, on the evenings of Tuesday 2nd<\/sup>, Wednesday 3rd<\/sup> and Thursday 4th<\/sup> June are now on sale from the Music and Drama departments. It promises to be a great show, packed with all the favourite 1970s songs. The tickets are priced \u00a37 for Adults and \u00a35 for Concessions – they are likely to sell quickly, so please don\u2019t delay.<\/p>\n Our three Uniform evenings will take place on Tuesday 19th May, Monday 8th June and Wednesday 17th June, each from 5.00 p.m. until 8.00 p.m. There will be a number of special offers available at each of these events. At each one, our Parent Council will be selling tombola tickets and we hope parents will take time to support this and to chat to the Parent Council about their work. Donations for the tombola would be most welcome, in the run up to these events. These can be handed in at the school reception or passed to any member of the Parent Council.<\/p>\n Please remember that Thursday 7th<\/sup> May will be an in-service day, but SQA examinations will run as scheduled.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The annual Primary Athletics competition took place last week.
