A brilliant morning of activity at the Youth Strike for climate change on the West Strand Beach! 

Our pupils waved placards, joined chants and wrote messages to show their support of this worldwide concern.

Congratulations to our Primary seven pupils and our Principal Mr Dinsmore as they appeared on UTV life last night, in a snapshot related to The Open! Around 30 seconds in, our Shared Education group are made famous! How exciting to be a part of this prestigious event in your final year of Primary School?

The evening was extremely enjoyable and successful with the total raised at £1200. 

Thank you to our host The Springhill Bar, local businesses for their generosity and all those who helped to make this evening so successful! All funds raised will go towards funding a new Smartboard for the current P5/6 classroom.

From all staff, to our excellent PTA, those who attended and all who donated and purchased towards our raffle, we are extremely grateful for your continued support. 

Today we have shared another wonderful event with our annual Sports Day. We were so fortunate with regards to the weather, as we were able to run all our events and enjoy a very tasty BBQ without a drop of rain! 🍔 

We share our sincere thanks to all who helped with the organisation of the day, supporting our pupils and staff, setting up and assisting with our tuck shop and BBQ lunches, organising and collecting medals, all of which contributed to yet another very enjoyable Sports Day! 🥇 

There are a large number of excellent photos and videos available on Facebook 📸 

Again thank you to all staff, parents, pupils and volunteers for another brilliant day! ☀️
