Payment is now due for the S1 Outward Bound trip. Some pupils have still to pay their £55 deposit which was due a month ago while the date for the second payment of £60 is Friday 15 December which is under two weeks’ time. The third and last payment will be due at the beginning of March. If you have any problems meeting these payment deadlines please see Mr Wyllie today or if you are having difficulty using Parent Pay then please speak to a member of the office staff.
Also a reminder that places are still available for Outward Bound in August, but to be able to go you’ll need to get your sign up slip to the office and a payment of £115 made before the 15thof December. Sign up slips are available from Mr Wyllie.

What
We are selling Candy Canes with personalised messages to raise money for the SSPCA. We would appreciate it if you could ask your register class if anyone is interested in purchasing a candy cane for 50p. The message could be personally made, picked from pre made ones and can be delivered to the recipient in person or anonymously or personally by one of the volunteers.
When
This will take place during the last week of term. It will be advertised throughout the school a few weeks in advance and will be available to buy during the last week in the dining hall at break Monday 18th and Tuesday 19th.
