Head Teachers Update

Assembly

We had a packed assembly this week full of information and awards!  We spoke about Chinese New Year coming up during the February Break.  We also launched Safer Internet Day (Tuesday 10th) and Children’s Mental Health Week.

Our Right of the Month for February is Article 24 – Children have the right to clean water, healthy food, a clean environment and good health care.  We also gave out 20 certificates and Class of the Week was P3C!

Achievements

I am pleased to share that Silas N (P7D) delivered an outstanding performance at the East Lothian Swim Team Age Group Meet last weekend. Competing in an impressive 10 events in 2 days, he achieved remarkable success, winning three silver and two bronze medals while setting personal best times in almost all of his races. This is a fantastic accomplishment and a true testament to Silas’s hard work and dedication.
