I hope that you have had a lovely long weekend in the sunshine. Once again, lots of exciting things have happened in school since my last update.
P7 to S1 Transition
We were delighted to welcome Mr Cinnamond from the High School on the afternoon of Thursday 18th May when he delivered an Art lesson to our P6s and P7s, giving them a taster of how lessons at High School will be. The pupils were very engaged and made a very good impression.
It is great to know that the turn-out at the P7 Parents’ evening on Thursday 26th was good and I know that those of you went along will have found it very useful.
Mr Helbert (Campus Principal) has been in touch as follows:
One of the things we let parents know about was the new ‘Planet Youth’ community project that is aimed at improving outcomes for teenagers by generating community and parental action.
I have attached a poster inviting parents to the next meeting which is on 13th June at Mid Argyll Youth Development Centre.
Please find information below about the next Planet Youth Session.
SSPCA visit
We were very pleased to welcome Emily from the Scottish SPCA into school on Tuesday 16th May when she delivered workshops on Animal Adventures to the P4 to 7 class and Rabbit Rescuers to the P1 to 3 class. It was great to learn about how we can all play a part in making sure that animals in the world around us are safe and protected.
Street Drumming
It was absolutely fantastic to be joined by so many of our family members on Friday 19th May when our fantastic tutor Martin Douglas and the pupils showed off their drumming skills. We are very grateful to the Music Service and Martin for giving the children the opportunity to develop their creativity and musicality over recent weeks.

Visit from Carol Murdoch, Love Outdoor Learning
The consultation around making best use of our outdoor spaces took place on Monday 22nd May as planned. Carol spoke with members of our 7 Pupil Council to find out about the progress we have made over the last year, as well as staff members. She has just sent through her report and recommendations to me and these will now be shared with staff and the Pupil and Parent Councils so that we can plan our next steps.
Coming up:
The P7s and I are getting very excited about the P7 residential on Arran which takes place next week. We will be hoping for maximum fun and sleep and minimum rain and midges!
As always, please do not hesitate to get in touch if you need to.
