OUTDOOR  AND  EXTRA  CURRICULAR  ACTIVITIES

Thanks to the voluntary efforts of staff a varied number of clubs and activities are available at lunchtime at particular times of the year.  These include short tennis, guitar, aerobics, Scottish dancing, athletics, recorder, football, mini rugby, cricket, chess and superstar activities.

The school holds a book fayre twice a year when a variety of books at all ability and interest levels are available for purchase.  Parents are encouraged to visit the fayre to peruse the selection.

Bridget Lonie, Lesley Kirkness and Ron Cook are musical instructors and they tutor pupils with a particular aptitude in violin, cello and brass instruments.  The instructions are on a weekly basis and the number of pupils taking lessons depends on the availability of instruments.  Selection for lessons is made when vacancies in various classes occur.  This normally happens at P4 or P5 stage.  Notice of the vacancy is circulated to parents who can then ask for their child to be tested if they wish lessons.  Final selection to study an instrument is made by the appropriate instructor.  A contribution for lessons is charged at the current rate.  Should your child be selected for Instrumental Lessons, no contribution will be charged if you are in receipt of Income Support, Job Seekers Allowance (Income Based) or Tax Credits ( if you receive Child Tax Credits only your annual income must be less than £13,910 and if you receive Working Tax Credits, your annual income must be less than £15,050.)
