On Friday our House Captains and Vice Captains did a wonderful job presenting their last assembly as Captains. They have been tremendous ambassadors of the school and have inspired many of our Pr. 7 pupils to put themselves forward as House Captains for this term.  Friday’s assembly was action packed with lots of school news shared and pupil achievements and school ambassadors being celebrated. This week we have a lot of children attending sporting events across the authority and we wished them all good luck! At our assembly children also learned some interesting facts about Rabbie Burns and tested their knowledge with a quiz at the end.

Infant registrations continue this week.  So far we have been extremely busy and look forward to meeting more new parents and boys and girls for the remainder of the week.  Please bring infant registration to the attention of family, friends and neighbours.
