Congratulations to all pupils who have recently achieved their Bronze Duke of Edinburgh's Award. Their hard work over the last year has resulted in them undertaking volunteer work, taking part in a physical activity of their choice and also developing an existing skill or taking up a new hobby. The final part of the award involved the pupils taking part in a walking expedition over two weekends in Loch Lomond National Park.

The Backpack Appeal

Tuesday 2nd March 2010
The Backpack Appeal needs your help! We are in desperate need of new or used backpacks. Some other items that we really need more of are:

REMEMBER – used backpacks must be in good condition. They don’t have to be expensive items. Single items may be handed in rather than the full backpack. Please don’t put in extra toys or treats as these can cause problems with customs.

MONEY DONATIONS ARE ALSO ACCEPTED.

For more information or to hand your items in, go to Mr Hutchison in Social Subjects. Thank you to all those who have already contributed to the Backpack Appeal.
