CHRISTMAS PARTY ARRANGEMENTS
On Tuesday 20th all children will have lunch at 12.15 pm. This includes home pupils. This is to allow us to set up the hall for Christmas parties. Thank you for your cooperation.

BIG SING
Well done to everyone. We raised ï¿½206 for CLIC and the African Childrenï¿½s Choir. Thank you to everyone who made the effort to get dressed up and to everyone who contributed.

SAFE, STRONG AND FREE
There will be series of Safe, Strong and Free workshops for Nursery pupils and parents.

PRIMARY 7

Some Primary 7 pupils visited the Salvation Army last week to entertain the old folks. They had a very successful afternoon and Captain Sayer passed on his thanks.

ADVERSE WEATHER
By now all parents should have received information regarding the 0870 number to be used if you think the school may be closed due to adverse weather. We still have not had all the return slips. If you have lost/misplaced/donï¿½t think you received on, please contact the school office immediately to arrange for a replacement. It is essential parents have this information available to them.

CHRISTMAS RAFFLE/CHRISTMAS SHOW
The Christmas Show and Raffle raised a total of ï¿½950. This will go towards the cost of the new stage lights which unfortunately did not arrive in time for this yearï¿½s show.

P6 ENTERPRISE PROJECT/LUCKY PROGRAMME
Primary 6 raised ï¿½55 from their sale of lucky programmes as a result of their enterprise project. This money will go to Dunbar Hospital for their refurbishment works.
