School Teams
We have had a busy few weeks at LVPS. Our netball team played a friendly with our friends from Riverside PS. Both teams played really well with lots of fantastic passing and great goals scored. Our next match is on Feb 22nd at Parkhead Primary.
Our 2 basketball teams took part in the West Lothian Primary league Tournament. They played really well and a big thank you to Abby and Ms Taylor for being fantastic coaches.
The girls football team are training every Tuesday and are working really hard. They have their next match scheduled for Feb 16th.
The school football team have been in winter shutdown mode but I have managed to secure two matches in March. We play Knightsridge on March 7th at LVPS and Meldrum away on March 21st. I am also delighted to announce that Stevie Johnston from WLFA (also a parent of a P1 child in our school) is going to provide football training sessions for the team on a Tuesday lunchtime. This will start on Tuesday 20th February.
Our school handball team took part in the final round of fixtures of the Livingston Handball league. I am very proud to announce that our school are the Livingston Champions!!! Well done team. This was a very competitive league and all 15 members of the team have contributed significantly. We are all very proud! We have now qualified for the WL Championships in March with 5 other teams. The top 2 teams will then go on to the National Championships to represent WL. Watch this space.
If your child is part of one of our 5 teams above. Please keep encouraging them to check the sports noticeboard outside the gym hall. This is updated every Friday by our Sports Captains. No letters are issued for training sessions. Letters will only be issued when their is a match to be played.
