Today we joined together with our friends in Cochrane Castle to celebrate our Christmas Lunch. Our catering staff put on a fantastic spread with all the trimmings as always. We enjoyed pulling our Christmas crackers and enjoying some Christmas music while our staff and pupils had a chance to eat together.

Yesterday we celebrated a special day with our wider school community at St Margaret’s Parish. Pupils from P7 attended and submitted their letter of commitment to Bishop John as part of their preparation for receiving the Sacrament of Confirmation. P6 pupils attended also, and enrolled in the Pope Francis Faith Award scheme.
Our P4 and P5 pupils brought along the cribs they made as part of their learning in class about Bambinelli Sunday. Fr Paul gifted them all a blessed Baby Jesus figurine to be treasured at home.
Our pupils from the upper school also participated in their new role as part of the church choir and were absolutely fantastic as were our P4 pupils who lead the offertory procession.
It was a lovely service and a special reminder of how important it is to us here at St David’s to be part of the St Margaret’s parish community. Thank you to all the staff, pupils and families who supported it as well as the parishioners and Fr Paul.

One of our pupils shared their fantastic progress in handwriting today. He was really proud to show me how much he has improved and what a lovely way to start the week. Well done!
We have been blown away with the kindness and generosity of our school community today who have donated food items for our local Foodbank.
The House of Arran came up with the idea and felt it was a good way to make a difference to their local community whilst they could have some fun by coming to school dressed in their PJs and Onesies.
Huge thank you to everyone who has supported us to make a difference today. #community

Mr Kerr
Today we had our first Together Ceilidh to celebrate the feast of our patron saint, St Andrew.
We enjoyed a family quiz in the classroom areas with a Scottish theme and the Richardson family showed off their geography skills by completing the map of Scotland.
In the hall, Mr Kerr treated us to a traditional bagpipe performance before showing off some new skills as our Ceilidh-caller. Our families, pupils and staff showed off their fancy footwork and most importantly we all had a fun afternoon together.
Thank you so much to all of the school community for making it a fun event!
