Dear Parents and Carers

First and foremost please accept my apologies if you were at all disappointed at our MADD event this morning.  We are so grateful for the incredible turnout of support and certainly did not mean to cause anyone any upset.  Making the decision to move to Trinity Academy was made with the best of intentions – I had however underestimated the numbers of parents and carers who would be joining us.   I hope that asking P1 and P2 parents and carers to leave after seeing their child then allowed others to come in to see theirs.  As we always say to our learners, we are learning all the time and can always make things better.  I will take this on board!  Thanks also to Trinity Academy for accommodating us at the last moment.    

I enjoyed a fabulous time at Benmore Outdoor Centre with P7 last week.  The weather certainly helped but the highlight for me was how true to our values the P7s were.  Not only did they persevere trying out, what was for many, new and challenging activities, they also showed themselves to be kind and respectful to each other and to the staff.  Creativity was also evident particularly during Hunt the Teacher when some staff managed to hide so well they couldn’t be found!  We are already booked to return in September 2024 for our current P6s to have the opportunity for a residential experience (aka School Camp!)

The same week saw P6 enjoy an extended outdoor education experience at Bonaly Scout Camp setting off at 9.00am and returning at 9.00pm.  Feedback has been really positive so we are planning to include such a day into our Trinity Opportunities journey.  Please see the attached poster if you are unsure what this is.  

Many thanks to yourselves for supporting such experiences and to staff for going above and beyond to ensure they happen.

Building update including lunches

We are still awaiting further information as to when works will commence on the roof areas affected by RAAC.  In the meantime P6 continue to enjoy the Lodge classrooms and our kitchen staff are managing to provide a hot meal.  Please be aware that the hot meal service is restricted at times due to food having to be cooked off site and transported to school.  This might mean a slight change to what is offered on Parentpay.

SHREK Jan 2024 

Thank you to those who have paid the ticket price (£20) on Parentpay.  This will be the total cost for the visit as the TPSA have kindly agreed to pay for the coach transport.  If you do not wish your child to attend the theatre please do let us know as we currently have tickets for all Trinity learners and do not want tickets to be wasted.

Please see below for a list of dates for the year ahead.  Hopefully having these in advance will help a bit with planning.  Further detail will be issued as required, as will communication of additional events and experiences as they arise eg we are waiting for the dates for Scottish Opera for our P5s.

Thank you for your support.
