A big congratulations to the winners of our House Shield Design Competition. The pupils were asked to create inspirational designs to represent the Houses of Arran, Iona, Seil and Skye.
After much debate and deliberation, it was decided that the winners for each House were:
Arran – Maizy Reid
Seil – Michaela Burgess
Skye – Lindsay Ibell
Iona – Lily Miller
The new designs will be displayed throughout the school and will act as visual symbols of the efforts of the pupils in each House.
The staff and children are all back working hard. The new children are already integral parts of our school and the rest of the pupils are keen to show our newcomers how to be a successful pupil within St. John’s Primary.
We have attached our Establishment Improvement Plan as well as our Standards and Qualities Report in the School Improvement Priorities Section of this site. This will give you an indication of what we will be working on in the coming years to further develop our school.
We have also included this term’s Curriculum Information Sheets in the the Class Pages section of the site. These documents will give you an idea of what your own children’s classes are working on from August until December.
We have also attached a list of the clubs that have been planned so far for this term.
Finally, it is great to see all of the children back after the summer and we look forward to them continuing to shine as the session progresses.

Congratulation to our Primary 6 and 7 boys who received the Hamilton District Schools Sportsmanship Award for 2016-17. The award was presented by the organiser of the Hamilton Distict Schools FA, Mrs Sandra Cushnie.
The boys have played very well this session and have been close to awards on a few occasions. Throughout the whole season the boys have been a credit to themselves and to the school and they thoroughly deserve the recognition they have received.
Well done boys.
