Please note that a Ms Jeanette Hall, Piano Instructor, will be in Culter Primary School on Thursday 5th March 2009.  Ms Hall is covering for Mrs. Suttar who is presently unavailable.

If your child receives Piano tuition on a Thursday in school s/he should report for the lesson as usual. 

Unfortunately there will be no Cello lessons this term.  We will notify you when lessons start again after Easter.

In the meantime the violin instructors will be happy to tune your cello.

If there are any problems you can telephone the Music Co-Ordinator, Mr. Ken McLeod on 01224/346223.

Mrs. Neil, Cello Instructor is looking forward to seeing you as soon as possible.

On 11 March 2009 the Photographer from Tempest Limited will be in school taking class photographs only of all our pupils who wish to have their photograph taken. More details will follow later.

Please note that Mrs. Suttar who teaches our pupils Piano was not in Culter School on 19 February 2009 and will not be in school until 12 March.   

Just a reminder that the final payment for the Dalguise Trip in May 2009 should be in school by 6 March 2009.

Just a reminder to inform you that there will be a meeting for parents to-night in Culter School at 7 p.m. relating to Internet Safety.

You will be aware that the Internet is a wonderful tool which can help children to learn and find out about the world.  We need to be aware however of the dangers which children can be exposed to through use of the Internet.

We believe parents need to know and understand how to protect young people on the Internet.

PC Derek Bain, our Police Liaison Officer, will be in school to-night to talk to parents about Internet Safety.

There will be a chance to ask questions and to find out more about protecting your child and how you can teach them to ’stay safe’ when they are online.

All parents are welcome.

We look forward to seeing you.

Our school took part in the “Rag Bag” Textile Recycling Scheme earlier this month.

To-day we received a certificate congratulating  us for all the hard work put in collecting bags of unwanted textiles and a  cheque for £231.30!

We would like to thank all who helped us gather the unwanted textiles that resulted in an increase to school funds.

Each year, most pupils at Culter School participate in a Science Workshop which is related to topics taught at that stage.  Generation Science will be in school over the nex few months to deliver a wide range of Science Workshops appropriate to the age and stage of pupils.  The children enjoy the work very much and we believe Generation Science enable us to deliver Science in a fun and enjoyable way which motivates and interests children.

We are sure that the children will enjoy the workshops. We hope to post photographs of all workshops on the School Main BLOG.

Letters will be coming home soon giving details of the workshop your child will be involved in.

Please do not hesitate to contact the School Office if you have any queries.
