Our celebrating success Assembly will be held on the last Friday of each month. One pupil from each class, who has achieved success in one of the four capacities of a Curriculum for Excellence, will be nominated to receive a certificate and wear the relevant t-shirt for the day.

Their names will also be displayed on the light machine at the entrance, with their photos on the Curriculum for Excellence display in the foyer too. News of the children's success will also be placed in this blog which links from the school website.

As the children become more aware of the four capacities they will be asked to nominate winners and explain their reasons for nominating them.
