SJHS pupils were busy last Friday supporting Children in Need and raised a whopping £607.55! Pupils and staff participated in a Joe Wicks workout, beat the goalie, face painting, donations, obstacles courses and much more to raise more for a very worthy cause.
Special mention to the Pupil Councils and Mrs McClelland for organising a brilliant day!
The Primary Christmas hampers are coming together and we would like to thank parents/ carers for their contributions so far.
We would really appreciate a donation from everyone, if possible, of something small to go in one of the hampers. If you have any items you would like to donate to another class’s hamper that would also be welcome. We would appreciate all hamper donations by Thursday 21st November.
Lastly, there are restrictions as to what can go in the baskets.
• No alcohol
• No home bakes
• No battery operated gifts
• No peanuts and pineapple
The themes for each class are as follows;
• EYD Christmas
• P1/2 Cleaning
• P2/3 Shetland
• P4 Arts and Crafts
• P5/6 Celebrations
• P6/7 Family Night In
This Friday SJHS will be raising money for Children in Need. If your child would like to take part in any of the activities (listed below) then they will need to donate.
Pupils will still be expected to go outside at break/ lunch times so they need to wear appropriate clothing, regardless of wearing pyjamas.
Our Annual Christmas Fair will be held in the school on Sunday 24th November, 2 – 4pm. As in previous years, we really value your help in baking for the event and volunteering on the day. Without your support it would be very difficult to go ahead with fundraising events like these, which bring our School community together.
If you are a consultant for a company, or a small business owner, and would like to host a stall, please contact Mr Manson at the school. We do ask all stall holders to donate a raffle prize. We will gratefully accept any other raffle prizes from parents and families.
When baking, please make sure to remember that we are a peanut and pineapple free school.
A reminder that the Learner Led Event is tomorrow from 3.15pm – 4.45pm.
This is a chance for your child to share their learning with you. They will be able to talk you through their learning and share some of the work they have done and how they feel about it.
Please feel free to come along anytime between 1515-1645. During your visit you will hopefully have time for your child to show you their work, introduce their teacher(s) and show you around their classroom. Class teachers will be in their classrooms so this will be an opportunity to meet them.
Representatives from the following agencies will be available at this time in our social area. This will provide you with an opportunity to find out more about the work they do and how this can be of benefit to you and your families;
Please find attached the timetable and activity descriptors for Nurture Week 2019

Last week saw the launch of this year’s Youth Philanthropy Initiative project in S2: you may of heard of it as YPI. Our pupils will be researching local social issues and charities that support them, before putting together a presentation for the school, parents and panel of judges in order to win £3000 for their chosen charity. Over the past 2 years The Royal Voluntary Service and Women’s Aid have been the successful charities, allowing them to directly impact local provision of their services.
The project involves interdisciplinary skills challenging pupil’s creativity, presentation and communication skills whilst giving them real life experience of philanthropy in action.
This morning, S2 pupils have been given their personalisation booklets and choice forms. There is an opportunity to discuss this with teachers at Parents Evening tonight (11th February).
Parents/ guardians can also access the booklets and forms by going to the ‘Documentation’ tab under the ‘Parents’ section.
