The P7s arrived safely at their destination in Perthshire at around 1:45pm.  When Ms Russell phoned the pupils were all checking out their accomodation and unpacking.  Weather was looking good (at that point!)

I’ll keep you updated throughout the week whenever I hear from them.

This week (w/b 13th January) registration of new P1s for session 2014-15 is taking place in school between 9:30 and 10:30 and between 1:30 and 2:30.

Anyone with a child who achieves the age of 5 beween 1st March ’14 and 28th February ’15 should attend enrolment this week.

Please bring the child’s full birth certificate and two proofs of permanent address.

NB – Anyone who has missed registration week should contact the school as soon as possible.

Happy New Year everyone and welcome back to a new term.  2014 will be a big year with Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games, the Indpendence Referendum, The Ryder Cup, a World Cup in Brazil and an Olympic Winter Games to look forward to.
