Duntarvie Final Term!

Duntarvie Class of 2026, that’s wrap!

It has been such a delight to watch you all achieving so many things this term. I have loved seeing you all engage in your various awards and qualifications and seeing you all having so much fun across your rich and varied curricula! It’s also been wonderful to see everyone accessing the local community in a range of sporting activities and hear all about your swimming successes and awards too!

Our wonderful S3s have now completed their ASDAN transition challenges,  engaging in a wide range of activities with lots of effort and enthusiasm, spanning arts and crafts, cooking, drama, music, RME, whilst developing life skills, accessing the local community and even participating in work experience tasks by shadowing various people who help us at Beatlie, and within the community, to name just a few areas of learning and skills development

Our S4 and S5 pupils have been working hard to achieve even more SQAs this term, and have loved learning about how to care for animals, exploring our unique sensory perception systems,  and transferring our skills to learning in new and exciting environments. Our S5 pupils also achieved success in learning about relationships with others and keeping  safe. One S5 pupil has even achieved a National 2 award in learning all about personal health and wellbeing – fantastic!

What’s been so heartening though, is seeing you all find happiness and self expression in the everyday interactions you have with your adults and with your peers. There is so much kindness and laughter in our classroom – thank you for so many memories!

What a year we have had together!

Well done, well done, we are all so very proud of you!

Term 1 Secondary PE

On Monday afternoons athletes in Ochiltree and Duntarvie have been coming together to develop their physical activity and motor skills.

After a fun warm-up altogether, we split into 3 groups:
  • Striking & kicking activities (based on the Special Olympics Motor Activity Training Programme) with Louise
  • Music & movement (using activities from Physiobods and the MOVE programme) with Jill
  • Boccia & New Age Kurling (focusing on teamwork) with Rachael

Then we finish off with a whole group cool down and relax.

Welcome Back – Duntarvie 2021/22

A warm welcome back to all our pupils in Duntarvie.

We hope you have had a wonderful holiday and we were blessed with some brilliant weather.

We are looking forward to some new ASDAN and SQA challenges this year and hopefully being able to get out and about in the wider community too in 2022.

Duntarvie team look forward to meeting you all through the course of the year at events and gatherings.

We are also looking forward to working with some of the pupils and staff in Ochiltree too this year in our senior phase and ASDAN groups.
