Mary’s Meals Backpack Appeal

The Global Group would like to say a huge THANK YOU to everyone who donated a backpack to Mary’s Meals this year. There were 20 bags collected today, filled with essentials for a child to go to school in Malawi. We would also like to say a special thank you to Mrs Murray who gave up her time to sort out the rucksacks ready to be collected today.
At such a busy time of year, your efforts and kindness is very much appreciated. This is yet another reflection on how generous our school community is.
Thank you again!

School Ski Team Competition

Congratulations to our super skiing team who did a sterling job at representing our school at the recent Hillend Summer Dual Slalom.  Their behaviour and skiing skills was complimented on during the event.
The 1st round consisted of the head-to-head and each of the racers won their 1st race.
The team slalom was successful with 1 win out of 3 but sadly they were knocked out in the 4th race.
The children were up against some really tough competition but they gave it their all despite being some of the youngest and most inexperienced skiers.  They worked really well together, making decisions for the team to ensure all had the opportunity to ski in at least 4 races.
A particular ‘well done’ to Silvana and Euan McCartney who acted as anchors for all the races.
We look forward to seeing the ski team progress and wish them well in their next competition in October.
If you wish you child to be involved please speak to Miss Miller (Martin and Marcus’ mum).
