10th Anniversary Preparations!


In Cedars School, this term we are feverishly preparing for a very special performance. On Monday the 22nd of June we will be hosting our 10th Anniversary Celebration in the Greenock Town Hall. The evening will features, songs, choirs, orchestra, drama and poetry from P1-S5. All parents, friends and family will be invited. The Town Hall holds up to 1000 people so we will have plenty of room to accommodate all! We will also be inviting all former pupils, parents, staff and families. We are really looking forward to seeing some of them again! Watch this space for more info and maybe even some videos of rehearsals!

Congratulations!


Congratulations to Melissa of P7. This week Melissa won a trophy at her Girl's Brigade prizegiving. The trophy is for endeavour and no-one at Cedars School is surprised that Melissa won such an award! She has the lovely shield to keep for a year and it will grace her front room!
Well done Melissa!


Mr J and all at Cedars School :)

Easter Service

We held our end of term Easter service on Friday 3rd April - it was a lovely service and a great way to end a successful, hardworking term. Thank you to everyone who supported it.

Pupils from P1 - S4 performed an Easter play called "Jerusalem Alive" which they had helped to write as well as rehearse at our after school drama club. The play was written as a news report looking at the events surrounding Easter and interviewing eye-witnesses to what had happened. The play was a great success and everyone who took part was super! 











Charities Day

On Thursday 2nd April we had a Charities day in Cedars School for P1 - S5. Susie Hope from the Mercy Ships organisation came and told us of their work in Africa and Kate Copstick, who is the Aunt of Finlay and Lamorna Brown, told us of work she is involved in with children in Kenya. We also had Elspeth Lyons speaking with the primary department about the Scottish Aid to Eastern Europe charity. It was a very interesting and informative day which was thoroughly enjoyed by all the children. Thanks to all who took part!









On the Friday morning we held a Fund raising breakfast in aid of the Mercy Ships work which was provided by "Heather Delicatessen". Pupils and staff alike thoroughly enjoyed a tasty start to the day and we raised over £200! Thanks to everyone for their generous donations and thanks to Mrs Parkinson and the staff at "Heathers Delicatessen" for a delicious breakfast! Kate Copstick also held a fund - raising stall at the Easter service selling crafts made by the children she works with in Kenya.
