Miss Owens, our librarian, was over the moon earlier this week when she awarded Isla her first Read Woke South Ayrshire badge. Isla has achieved this badge by reading four books on the South Ayrshire Read Woke list, she also read across multiple platforms, utilising the South Ayrshire eBook app Libby in the process. . All 17 books can be discovered here www.readwokesouthayrshire.co.uk. They have been chosen by library staff across the authority for their representation of minority characters, dealing with a social injustice, and raising awareness of various social issues.

A few staff have collaborated to create a video for all our senior students who are sitting their key assessments this month. We are fully aware that students and parents will be experiencing anxiety and stress, and encourage all students to speak to a member of staff if they feel it is getting out of their control. Our wellbeing team are easily recognisable from their green lanyards.
To all students studying and trying their hardest we collectively say YOU'VE GOT THIS!! Following the P7 transition evening earlier this week our pupil support teacher has created a user guide video for all our pupils on using Read&Write. You can view this video on the Pupil Support Department page.
Information for all our P7 pupils and parents can now be found on the dedicated webpage. P7 TRANSITIONS 2021As the country gets ready to return to school in some form, we have published our plan for the phased return. Parents should have received an update but if you missed it please check it out on our COVID-19 communication page. You will find the parent update letter and a phased return to school guide. Please ensure you and your child are familiar with the procedures we have in place.
