School Meals Week

October 29, 2016 Mrs Docherty Leave a comment

Please note the changes to the menu for this week as new items are added to the menu to celebrate Scottish School Meals Week.

For every two promotional school meals sold on these days, Unilever will donate one meal to children in Kenya. This provides a great opportunity for the children of North Lanarkshire to support others, while at the same time enjoying the tasty school meals we have to offer.

Facility Support intends to recognise the school with the highest sales and therefore the most meals to the children of Kenya!

Spotlight on Success

October 18, 2016 Mrs Docherty 2 Comments

Our assembly prior to the end of term celebrated pupil achievement across the school with children being recognised for displaying their work on Achievement Avenue. Our spotlight on success gave one Pr.1 pupil the opportunity to share his homework activities and learning with the school community. We also celebrated the many out of school achievements that our pupils enjoy. A talented bunch indeed!! Two of our senior pupils presented their Eco presentation to inform everyone about the importance of having a clean and tidy dining hall and ensuring all rubbish is in the bin. Well done girls.
