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.

We are having our annual Sports Day on Wednesday 14th June in the school playground.
Our P.1-3 are in action between 11am and 12.30pm.
P.4-7 will be competing between 1.20pm and 2.40pm.
If the weather is bad we will postpone the event until there is a nicer day.

Please come along and cheer the children on. Tea and coffee will be available.
Fingers crossed for sunshine.

Congratulations to Kirstyn Queen, Mark Gaughan, Cameron Knox and Anna Sanders who won the Hamilton Grammar Maths Challenge for St. John’s. It is the third time in four years that our school has won this prestigious award and we all very proud of the children who took part and of all the children in the school who work so hard in Maths and Numeracy.

All donations will gladly be accepted in the school no earlier than Friday 12th May. (please label tins and tubs with child’s name and class if you want them returned)
