Magnificent Netballers!

We would like to congratulate our school netball team on a very successful outing this morning! Our pupils visited Airdrie Academy to take part in a netball qualifying festival, where they competed in four matches – winning an amazing three of them!

The team will find out next week whether they have qualified for the next round of the competition, so our fingers are crossed!

Our after school netball club has been running for around a year now, and the pupils have worked very hard to improve their skills and knowledge of the game, alongside Miss Clerkson and Miss Allan.

I know the rest of the netball squad will be as proud of today’s team as their coaches are! Great job team!

Well done Emma!

We would like to say a huge congratulations to Emma, who was awarded a Highly Commended certificate for her entry into the North Lanarkshire Council Road Safety Calendar Competition.

The competition has been running for over twenty years, with literally thousands of pupils taking part each year; meaning that picking up an award is an extra special achievement!

We are very proud of you Emma…great job!

Beat the Street

North Lanarkshire’s ‘Beat the Street’ competition comes to an end tonight, and it’s fair to say that the pupils of Rochsolloch Primary School really got involved in this initiative!  We’ve been walking lots both in school and at home, and we must be fitter than ever!

Our pupils understand that, while it was a competition, ‘Beat the Street’ was designed to encourage families to be active, to enjoy exercise together, and to be responsible when travelling in our local environment.

This picture shows some of our school winners, who were awarded gift bags for a variety of reasons including:

  • Taking part in the challenge enthusiastically outside of school
  • Reporting broken Beat Boxes and keeping school staff up to date on responses
  • Committing to the spirit of the initiative both in and out of school
  • Being a role model for others during whole school walks

We are extremely proud of every pupil who has been active this month in supporting this initiative.  Let’s hope the walking keeps up, even when the Beat Boxes disappear!
