Pupil Council Newsletter
The St. Fergus Pupil Council have created a newsletter to let you know about all the things we have planned for the last few weeks of term. Starting with a COVID safe sports day on Wednesday 26th May. All information about this is on our newsletter.
Active Schools Clubs
As we have now moved into level 2 and in line with government and Sportscotland guidance we are delighted to say that we can run some of the extracurricular clubs on a trial basis.
These clubs will start week beginning Monday 24th May and will be targeted at specific classes as we are keeping pupils within their bubbles.
The sessions are as follows:
Tuesday P3 – 3-4pm
Wednesday P5 3-4pm
Friday P6 3-4pm
Sessions will be run outdoors unless extreme weather conditions so please come appropriately dressed and the pupils will take part in their uniform.
Our coaches will be following FACTS for the sessions. Hand sanitiser will be available from the coach for use by the pupils on arrival of the session and as they leave.
Can we ask that pupils are collected at the main entrance gate. Please can parents/carers observe social distancing and wear a face covering when collecting your child.
We will also require all pupils to be signed up online as this will allow us to follow track and trace for the sessions. All clubs can be found via the Class4kids website by following link below:

Virtual Pilgrimage to Rome Update
St. Fergus Pupil Council would like to say a huge thank-you to everyone that took part in our Virtual Pilgrimage to Rome. We involved all our St. Fergus Families in our virtual Pilgrimage with the aim of raising money for our chosen charities Missio and Who? Cares Scotland as part of our Almsgiving during Lent. We are happy to announce that we walked 1566 miles, meaning that we made it to Rome and we also raised £147 for our charities! This is something we are very proud to have achieved as a school and would like to thank everyone who made this possible. If anyone still has any sponsorship money to Pay to the school, they can still do so via ParentPay.
Well done Oliver!
We are unbelievably proud of Oliver in P3. On Saturday he cycled 15 miles for the virtual kiltwalk in aid of St Vincent’s hospice. What an achievement and for such a good cause!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 
We have made the Inspired Art Exhibition again!!!
Well done to some of our Primary 4 and 5 children who submitted artwork to their teacher during the school closure. Everyone’s artwork is being included in this online event.
We received a lovely congratulations video for the team at the Exhibition.
This year’s theme for P4-7 was ‘Fruit and Vegetables’. Have a look at our gallery below to see our entries.
Of course there are always a few stand out pieces of artwork, and so two of our young artists have been selected to receive a highly commended award. Well done to Mia and Hannah who received this award!!
