S2 Netball Team vs St Benedict’s

The S2 Netball Team will be playing their first ever netball game for the school vs St Benedict’s, Linwood on Monday 4th October. Very much looking forward to it, it’s been a long time coming. And with the year group starting Netball in core PE and lots of S2s attending training there will definitely be lots of competition for places this year for the S2 school team. 

Good luck to the team.

Sponsored 5km 2021

Hello,


You are invited to take part in the Sgoil Ghàidhlig Ghlaschu Sponsored 5km 2021. This 5k is to be done within your local area, following Government guidelines, at any time during 30th April to 3rd May. We would like as many people as possible to get involved - staff, pupils, parents. Please encourage your friends and family to sign up, get out training and fundraise over the next 6 weeks. Pace does not matter; you can go as fast or as slow as you like, it is up to you how you complete the distance.


We are raising money for the following charities:


Trussell Trust - stop UK hunger - https://www.trusselltrust.org/what-we-do/
MacMillan cancer support - https://www.macmillan.org.uk/
SAMH - for Scotland's mental health - https://www.samh.org.uk/

Asthma UK - asthma research and support - https://www.asthma.org.uk/scotland



All four of these charities are close to our hearts and we feel they play a crucial role in helping provide support for people in times of need. The total raised will be split equally between the four charities. I have attached a sponsorship form for you to record your donations. I have looked into options to donate electronically however the only feasible way to do this is with cash.


Please bring all money raised to me on Tuesday 4th of May in an envelope marked SGG 5K with the participants name and total. I will be in the tàlla spòrs from 8.45 am - 9.00 am, morning Interval 10.50-11.05am and lunchtime 1.00-1.20pm.


Here are a couple of websites to get you ready for the big day:
