About Our Pupils

Our school looks to create a participatory ethos for its pupils and we have three main groups for the children to become actively involved in decision making.

Pupil council

Our school places a high priority in listening to our children's views. To help this, a group called the Pupil Council was established. Each year pupils in P3-P7 elect a boy and girl representative to form part of the Pupil Council which meets regularly with the Head teacher to discuss ideas, feedback, issues or concerns.The children elected as Pupil Council members in 2007-2008 are:

Class Representative
P1 & 2 Amy Gibb and Tom Hughes (P7)
P3 Kim Denton and Hamish Finn
P4 Monica Sloan and Rory Harper
P5 Caitlin Hillman and Aiden Sloan
P5/6 Lucy Girven and Sandy McLaughlin
P6 Carys Nuttall and Angus McVicar
P7 Morven Paterson and Charlie Hordern

The Fair Trade Committee

The Fair Trade Committee was set up in Januay 2009. It is led by Mrs MacLeod (PT) and Mrs McArthur (Parent).

Class Pupil Representative
P5 Mackenzie Burns, Katie Biggart
P6 Lauren Donaldson, Niamh Walker
P7 Heather Stephenson, Rachel Bell

House System and Captains

Our school operates a House System whereby all children are members of a house. The houses are named after trees: Rowan, Oak, Beech, Maple and Willow. The House System helps to further develop the community spirit within the school.

Children are grouped vertically providing opportunities to get to know children from different classes/stages throughout the school. Children are given a coloured house badge at the beginning of each session. Lost ones can be replaced at a cost of 10p each.

Points are awarded to pupils and their house for good social and caring behaviour towards others and the school environment. Also for looking smart in their school uniform and for wearing their house badges.

Two house captains are selected each year from P7. Captains for 2007 - 2008 are as follows:

House Badge colour Captains
Willow Blue Elaine Cameron and Neil Mackay
Oak Yellow Jacob Lennox and Angus MacVicar
Beech Green Robyn Whyte and James Roxby
Maple Orange Lois Millar and Kirstie Robertson
Rowan Red Connar Rowan and Christie Yuill
