On Friday 3rd May we were lucky enough to have some special guests in school; visiting Folk Festival Band, The Fretless, they had travelled all the way from Canada! They were absolutely fantastic, they had us all dancing and very well entertained! Towards the end, the band played famous songs, we had to stand up if we recognised the tune…this one was a popular one!

JRSO Presentations
On Monday 26th June, our JRSOs visited the Town Hall, along with 33 other pupils from across Shetland, to share all of the brilliant work they have been doing in school to promote road safety awareness
Councillor Robbie McGregor presented them with certificates, recognising their efforts over the past academic year.
Well done to you all! What fantastic representatives of our school!
Swap Shop
The parent council held a swap shop of children’s clothes and toys on Sunday 7th November! We were pleasantly overwhelmed with the generosity of donations. We worked hard as a parent council team and it paid off. On the day we saw a huge amount of people who helped recycle our donations and raise a huge total of £2032.78 which will go towards the playground equipment.
Thank you to everyone who supported us and to the businesses that contributed to our raffle.
We look forward to updating you on the playground progress.
New Recruits!
The school has some new recruits! Have you noticed them? Thanks to Elaine Skinley, John and our JRSOs for organising these little reminders for drivers who pass our school. We really hope it will encourage those in our community to take extra care when passing by.

Thank you to everyone who took part in the Stripes for 6 challenges. We have counted everybody who entered and there was a total of 30 students that did enter, to our knowledge.
