March 2007 Newsletter
School Flag
The idea of designing and producing a Paible School Flag was raised at a recent Staff Pupil Council Meeting. A “Create a Flag” competition was organised by Sian Donkers S1 and the final chosen design is shown above. Well done to the three winners – Rebekah MacSween S1, Margaret Cameron S1 and James Stewart S1. We are now in negotiations with manufacturers and hope to have the flag flying next term.
Home Reading initiative has now been developed in the middle stages of primary. This term’s Reading Certificates
will be presented at our next whole school assembly on Thursday 15th March
P5,6,& 7 group will continue swimming instruction at Lionacleit for another 2 weeks. It is hoped that there will be a further 2 – 3 weeks after the Easter Break.
A successful Book Swap was held on Thursday 1st March. £1 Book tokens were issued and must be used before 25th March. Any further information on how to redeem your voucher or exchange it for a free book, can be found at www.worldbookday.com
As part of the Eco-Schools initiative, we are hoping to develop the school garden area to the north of the school building (where the greenhouse is.) We would be pleased to receive any donations of tree/bush cuttings that we could plant in this area. Please contact the school office if you are able to help.

All pupils will be involved in a variety of activities throughout this week to strengthen anti-sectarianism and promote positive attitudes. On Wednesday 28th March Daliburgh P7, S1, S2 and Lionacleit Pipe Band pupils will join us for a school “Anti-sectarianism Celebration” Ceilidh in the morning. This will be followed by a buffet lunch for all pupils, staff & guests.
The catering will be done by Rae our school cook and her very capable team. There will be no charge for this lunch. On Friday 30th March the week’s activities will be drawn together & closed with an Activity Day. This event will be supported by Christina MacWilliams sports development officer, Christine Lindsay Active Schools co-ordinator and Hector MacPhee youth worker. This will be a “No Uniform Day”
The school Community would like to sincerely thank Mr Archie Campbell, Local Councillor, for arranging to transfer £700 from the Ward Budget to the Paible School Fund. This additional funding is much appreciated by the school
We would like to remind parents of the forthcoming Silent Auction which is being held on Friday 23 March in the School Hall at 7.30 p.m. This is in aid of School Funds. Any donations or provisions of goods/ services which could be auctioned on the night would be gratefully received. Please hand in at any time. The success of this new venture depends on your contributions.
Mr I Graham of Graham Technology will visit the school on Wednesday 14th March at 11.30 a.m. He will be arriving by helicopter and land at the back of the school. Therafter he will be interviewed by S2 pupils . Mr Graham will then give a presentation on Business Enterprise to the pupils.
We are desperately seeking volunteers to come and help with painting the scenery. This would involve coming into school for 2 days at the end of April to work as part of a team to complete this task. It will be good fun and the pupils will be assisting. We are also seeking parents who can help to sew the panels of material which would be used for the scenery. Please come and support your school to make this first Paible School Musical come alive.
