We have had a busy term so far at High Blantyre PS! The last two Thursdays we have welcomed our new Primary 1 pupils and their parents for transition visits. Tomorrow tea and coffee will be available for parents once they drop their child to their school visit. This is a great opportunity to network and speak to staff.
