Dalry Days 2018/19

Another Dalry year is done.

We had silly days,

Brighter days,

Communication struggle days,

Calm days,

showing our outside achievements days,

Spooky days,

Upside down days,

Every day, day in and day out, days,

Christmas days,

Best in Edinburgh days,

Bouncy days

Responsible days,

Poetry in motion days,

Geeky days,

Cakey Days,

Holidays,

 

Sporty days

Lucky days

Creative days,

Everything under control days,

Wellie days,

Recognition days

and last days,

but they were all Dalry days.

 

Class of 2019

Goodbye and good luck to our amazing class of 2019.

You have been a massive part of everyone at the school’s Dalry journey.

We hope your Dalry experiences remain special to you for years to come as you go on to achieve all the amazing things that await you.

Mural Unveiling

Today we finished our assembly with a grand unveiling for the school of the wonderful mural by the art club, with support of Damian Callan and Mrs Dong.

The mural represents our school’s special role as a bridge between Scottish and Chinese cultures as home to a Confucius hub.

It will hopefully be installed over the summer.

Chess Team awards.

Our chess sessions awards were given out at Leavers assembly this week with recognition of contributions to great results at the events our team attends and great chess played in our lunchtime and masterclass club tournaments.

The overall Joint winners this year were Fabio and Ade.

Congratulations to them and all the prize winners.

Thanks again to our amazing volunteer chess tutors Stewart Good and Bill Hynd.

We hope for an even better year next year and Mrs Honeyman challenged the girls of Dalry to try and be sure we don’t only have boys in the winners next year. So come and try chess and show the boys a check mate girls.

Jim Douglas Citizenship Award 2019

A new award was presented at leavers assembly this year.

Created by the family of Jim Douglas, a former Dalry pupil who left Edinburgh to become a leading publisher in Canada, the award celebrates outstanding contribution to the school from a pupil in P5-7 who has embodied our school values:

Together we are respectful, included, responsible and kind.

The inaugural recipient was Aoife in P6.

Well done Aoife!
