The Eco Committee will be carrying out interviews for new members on Wednesday 25th September. They were delighted that 55 pupils expressed an interest in becoming a committee member. At the interview, pupils will be asked to say why they think Eco Schools is an important initiative and what skills/qualities they have that would make them a good Eco Committee member. Good luck to all those being interviewed!!

Congratulations to all the pupils on being a part of the winning school for the Rural Connect Sunflower Competition 2013.

All pupils were responsible for caring for the sunflowers that we were given from Rural Connect at Oatridge College.  Lauren’s Grandad, Rab, was our expert sunflower grower and he kept us right with what to feed the flowers and how to look after them.  He even came in during the summer to continue to care for our sunflowers!

Last Tuesday, a team from Rural Connect came to measure our tallest sunflower and we were the winners with 2m 66cm!  Tomorrow (Thursday 19th Sept) Russell and some others from Rural Connect are coming to our assembly to present our award –  £300 Dobbies vouchers!!  To see the other results please go to:
