We have had to change the way we run a number of our traditional events due to the current pandemic - but who would have thought that this would result in us finding even better ways to do things?

We celebrated Scottish heritage and culture as the Lions, Leopards and Tigers demonstrated immense physical skills during the Annual Highland Games. The STARs holiday camp was a shining success as students got well-deserved fun and games for hard work at school. 

The Annual Highland Games

On the Friday before Half Term we welcomed FS3 families into school to celebrate our annual Highland Games, a celebration of Scottish heritage and culture - things very important to teachers such as Ms Isla, Ms Emma Mulligan, Mr Graeme and Mr Bob!

At 8am two pipers led the procession into the Sports Hall to the tune of Scotland the Brave. What followed was a very exciting display of physical skills. With the help of some specially trained Y6 Buddies, Lions, Leopards and Tigers showed their parents what they have been working on over recent weeks.

A big thank you to all of our athletes, spectators, our Y6 Buddies and our Estates Team for their support.

It was also Ms Isla’s birthday - what a way to celebrate!

The first STARs Holiday Camp, a shining success!

A number of students enrolled in the STARs Programme enjoyed the first-ever holiday camp this half term. Ms Verity explains more...

Students enjoyed being with their peers over the break to engage in favourite activities such as cooking, sensory play and music. 

In addition, students travelled on school buses to local venues such as Kidzoona, Bounce and Harborland to have some well deserved social and recreation time after working hard at school this half term. 

It was a fantastic experience for all involved and a wonderfully inclusive community initiative for our STARS.
