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.

Together we are respectful, included, responsible and kind.

The inaugural recipient was Aoife in P6.

Well done Aoife!
