West Lothian Foodbank Collection
Last week, we were collecting for West Lothian Foodbank.
The food has been collected and we just wanted to say a huge thank you to all parents and carers who were able to generously contribute towards this cause. This will help families in need in our local community as well as across West Lothian.
P7 Football Festival
Well done to the learners who took part in the P7 Football Festival yesterday afternoon at James Young High School, where the team did amazingly! They played 5 games, won 4 and drew 1 without conceding a single goal. We are so proud of you all!
A big thanks also goes out to two of our parents for arranging and running trials for this event, and for supporting the team at the Festival – we really appreciate this.
Talk Money Week 2024
Talk Money Week is an annual campaign to get the nation talking about money. This year, the week takes place from 4th – 8th November and the theme is ‘Do One Thing’.
Equipping our children and young people to have the knowledge and skills to manage money effectively now and in the future is a valuable endeavour.
