Calderwood Pupils Shine at Cross Country Finals

A huge congratulations to all of our pupils who represented Calderwood at the recent Cross Country Finals!

The event brought together runners from across West Lothian and our team demonstrated fantastic determination, resilience and sportsmanship throughout the day. Every pupil should be extremely proud of their achievement in reaching the finals, which is a significant accomplishment in itself.

From the starting whistle to the finish line, our runners gave their all. They tackled the challenging course with enthusiasm, perseverance and positive attitudes, encouraging one another and embodying our school values every step of the way.

Whether achieving a personal best, overcoming nerves or simply giving their very best effort, every runner played an important part in making the day a success. The pride and determination on display were a credit to themselves, their families and our school community.

Thank you to all the staff, families and supporters who helped make the experience possible and cheered our runners on throughout the day.

Well done to every member of the Calderwood cross country team. We are incredibly proud of you all!

P7 Adventure at Dalguise PGL

Our P7s recently returned from an unforgettable three-day adventure at Dalguise PGL, packed with excitement, challenge and lots of fun!

Throughout the trip, pupils had the opportunity to take part in a wide range of outdoor activities designed to test their teamwork, resilience and confidence. From tackling high ropes and climbing challenges to navigating obstacle courses and taking part in team-building games, everyone embraced the experience with enthusiasm and determination.

It was wonderful to see pupils stepping outside their comfort zones, encouraging one another and celebrating each other’s successes. Whether they were conquering a fear of heights, trying a new activity for the first time or developing their leadership skills, every child achieved something to be proud of.

Evenings were filled with laughter and opportunities to spend time with friends, helping to create lasting memories before the transition to high school. The trip also gave pupils the chance to develop their independence, responsibility and problem-solving skills in a new environment.

The staff were incredibly proud of the positive attitude, behaviour and teamwork shown by all of our P7 pupils throughout the three days. They represented our school brilliantly and were excellent ambassadors both on and off the activities.

A huge thank you to the staff who attended and helped make the trip possible. We are sure the memories made at Dalguise will stay with our P7s for many years to come!

Well done, P7s. What an amazing adventure!
