Letters from High School pupils

High School pupils have very kindly taken the time to write some really nice letters to Primary 7 pupils who will be making the transition to High School soon. The letters talk about fears those children may have had, and how those fears were quickly removed when they got to High School. Moving on to High School will always be a nervous and daunting prospect for children, but reading these letters may help them in their journey and know that they are not alone in their fears! These letters be found in the new ‘Latest from Lesmahagow High’ section within the ‘Primary 7 to High School’ section of transition, or simply click here to read the letters.
