Running along the bottom of our tree are the school values, of which, respect, determination and kindness are the main focus in the nursery. From these roots, grow our learning tree where the icons represent the curriculum including technology, numeracy, literacy, health and wellbeing, art, music, science, eco to name a few. Both the school and nursery badge are represented to cover the ages of our learners, from nursery to Primary 7.
Surrounding the tree are the growing figures of our children who running the Daily Mile and the clouds represent the parents aspirations for their child/children by the time they leave St Ninians to move onto High School.
The bird flying to the tree is the icon which represents GIRFEC (Getting It Right For Every Child) and the SHANARRI (Safe, healthy, achieving, nurtured, active, respected, responsible and included) well being indicators. Health and well being is crucial for learning and development and is threaded through everything we do to support out young learners who are the workforce of the future.
Finally, our whole school vision, Growing and learning together to achieve our best , is heading the whole visual and reminds us of what we are working on each and every day in the nursery and school.
