On Sunday 5th March Euan took part in the Primary Schools Badminton Championship. He took part in the Single events.

He was randomly put into to groups of 5. He played against everyone in that group. He won against everyone in this first stage. As he won all five games he went into Group A. He then played 2 quarter finals and then a semi final and then competed against the other semi-finalist.  Euan just missed out from reaching the final game. He did a fantastic job in winning all of the games leading up to this point!  

Below is a list of where he ranked overall. As he beat the other semi-finalist he ranked 3 out of 38 boys from all over West Lothian. We are so proud of his achievement and how he represented our school! 

Euan said ” I felt exhausted but proud to get through all the rounds that I did.  I thought I was only going to get to the quarter-finals as last time I was put into a different group.”

 Rotary Photograph Competition 

Ian Orr from the Rotary club contacted us to let us know that the winner of the photographic competition was Euan McCartney.

He said “it was a difficult decision as there was a wide and varied interpretation of the theme REFLECTIONS, for which all of the children who entered have to be congratulated.”

He thanked Torphichen Primary School for our support in this and the other competitions the Rotary club have run.

Euan said “I am quite surprised that I have won because I saw other entries and they were of a very high standard and I didn’t think I would have been chosen over them.”

Below is Euan’s entry taken at the Camera Obscura exhibition:

We are so proud of Euan’s success in Expressive arts and P.E! Well Done!
