On Thursday morning the school held it’s end of year assembly and recalled many of the school’s achievements this session. This included the school receiving notification that it had successfully renewed it’s status as an ECO SCHOOL. Many thanks to Mrs.Drummond who gathered all the required evidence to support our application. This is a tremendous achievement and a great reward for all the hard work undetaken by everyone across the school. There was also an announcement that the school had achieved the SILVER AWARD from School Sport Scotland. Next year we will be working to achieve the GOLD AWARD after gathering all the evidence required to support our application. We are confident that we are already well on the way to achieving this status. The Rotary Club attended our assembly as invited guests and presented awards to the Pr. 7 pupils who entered the Rotary Club Young Writer of the Year compeition. Our own Kayla Doran was the overall winner of this prestigious award. Father Travers and Sister Eileen were our other invited guests and presented the Pope Francis Faith Awards to our Pr. 7 pupils. Quite an achievement from so many pupils on their faith journey over the last two years. Sister Eileen was presented with a gift from the school and the pupils in recognition of her wonderful service to the school throughout her many years within the Parish. Awards were also presented to the Pr.7’s who made entries to the Scottish Young Design Engineers Competition. Mrs.Elliot presented special awards to some of our outstanding netball players. Awards were also presented for attendance with a huge number of children receiving bronze, silver and gold awards. It was great to see so many childen achieve perfect attendance this year, particulary as we have aimed to improve attendance figures across the school all year. Our House Captains and Vice Captains from West End House came out to accept the trophy for being the Winning House on Sports Day. Unfortunately we did not get an opportunity to present our Curriculum for Excellence Awards as we ran out of time after such a busy assembly packed full of successful stories. Those awards will be presented on Monday. Here are a few highlights from the morning assembly. Many thanks to our dance troupe for closing the assembly.
