The next Rag Bag collection will be on Monday 21st June Tuesday 22nd June
Please support this activity. Only send bags on Tuesday as we are not able to bring them into the building. There will be additional “baskets” beside the Rag Bag container in the car park.
This is a great opportunity to clear out our wardrobes for the summer.

On Wednesday 16th June we will be holding our adapted Sports Day.
Everyone has been given a slip that tells them their team (check bags). If possible please wear something of that colour or make a badge with your Team colour.
Come prepared for whatever the weather! Sunscreen, rain jacket, water etc.
Active Schools and Community Sport are delighted to announce that we will now be using Facebook and Instagram as an additional communication tool from Tuesday 1st June
Their new accounts are under the name of Active West Lothian on Facebook and activewestlothian on Instagram.
After having Twitter for a number of years, we are all excited at having the opportunity to use Facebook and Instagram to promote our projects, programmes, extra-curricular & sports club opportunities, and much more to a wider audience.
