Dear Parents and Carers,
It is hard to believe we are coming to the end of the term already! As we approach the final week, there are just a few updates to bring to your attention.
Soccer 7s Tournament
The last set of fixtures for the Soccer 7s Tournament are scheduled to take place this Saturday 1st October at the KGV. Strips have been issued to players and they should arrive at the KGV at 10am for a 10.30am start. In addition to their PPS strips, all players should wear football boots, shin guards and they should also take a water bottle with them. A huge thank you to all the parent coaches for their support throughout the tournament this year, we would not be able to enter teams in this event with you.
Hockey Festival
Active Schools will be hosting a Hockey Festival at the High School on Tuesday 4th October for P6 and P7 pupils. More information has been shared with parents of the pupils involved this morning.
Staffing
Today is the last day we have Annette and Beth in the school canteen. We are very sorry to see them go and cannot thank them enough for all the delicious meals they have prepared for pupils and staff during their time with us. From Monday a new team of staff will join us. We wish to extend a warm welcome to Zoe Cross, Rebecca Ritson and Anne MacArthur, we look forward to having them as part of our school.
Jess MacLennan will be taking a careers break and Morag Murray will teach the P2 class full time from the start of the new term. We are very sorry to see Jess go but we wish her well for her break and look forward to welcoming her back to our school in the future.
Wear it Pink
A reminder that pupils can choose to wear pink to school next Friday 7th October and we will be collecting donations for the charity Breast Cancer Now that day.
October Break
The school will close at 12.45pm next Friday 7th October for the October break. Pupils and staff will return on Monday 24th October.
Have a lovely weekend,
Iain
