Welcome to the final
edition of “The Pupil
Voice” for this session.
This is the newsletter
brought to you by the
Pupil Council. Each term
we will let you know
what has been going on
in each classroom.
Every class will be
asked to pick their best
bits for us.
This term the whole
school have enjoyed
Sports Day, our new
sound system as well as
a whole school trip to
Aden Country Park. We
can’t believe how quickly
this term has gone by.
We hope you enjoy our
Newsletter and have a
great Summer holiday!

This year the Pupil Council have been working very hard on ways to make the school better as well as
coordinating the Class of the Week award. We have been working with Mrs MacKenzie for this.
Some of the Pupil Council went to Aberdeen University for a China Day. We learned a lot of China
and a bit about its people and language.
We have really enjoyed being part of the Pupil Council and wish those who do it next year lots of luck.
