Well Done!!!

One of our very generous and kind pupils featured in the local paper in recognition of donating her hair to a cancer charity who make wigs for children who undergo treatment.  It was a hugely generous thing to do that also raised a huge sum of money due to donations.  Well done!!  We are all so proud of you Erin Grace!!

The whole school enjoyed a production of  ‘The Rights of the Child’.  They learned about the UN Conventions of the Rights of the Child and also learned about wellbeing and the SHANARRI indicators – SAFE, HEALTHY, ACTIVE, NURTURED, RESPONSIBLE , RESPECTED ND INCLUDED.  We certainly have lots to reflect upn at our next assembly.
