• A new look for Matthew !

  Mon 14 Oct 2024

  Matthew has been growing his hair for 3 years with the aim of donating it to make wigs for those who have lost their hair through illness. He also decided he would also like to raise some money for his school to buy some supplies for the classrooms and the lovely new library.

  Matthew got his hair cut on Friday  and we are showing the before and after pictures. Doesn't he look well. We are all very proud of what Matthew has done and I know his mum and dad are looking forward to not having to spend ages brushing it in the morning! If you would like to donate please click on the link below.

• WINNERS !!!

  Fri 11 Oct 2024

  Huge congratulations to the APS QUIZ TEAM who came 1^st in the Inter- Schools’ Table Quiz Competition, which was held on Thursday 10^th October at Meadow Bridge Primary School. Teams from 15 local primary schools participated in the event and all pupils had a very enjoyable afternoon.

  The Quiz consisted of 8 rounds with ten questions in each. Each round consisted of a different theme eg geography, general knowledge, music, catchphrases, spelling etc. Anahilt took the lead early on in the competition and managed to say top of the leaderboard throughout!

  The Quiz Team consisted of Micah and Maeve from P7 and Sam and Korey from P6. The team have worked very hard over the past month, brushing up on their general knowledge and their efforts were rewarded today by winning the cup!

                              WELL DONE TO ALL THE TEAM INCLUDING TEAM MANAGER MRS McCUNE!

  

• Happy Birthday

  Fri 04 Oct 2024

  Despite my best efforts to hide it,  most of Anahilt and surrounding area know that I had a big birthday today. Whilst most of you will be in disbelief that I am 50 I can assure you that I feel every day of it ! I just wanted to say a huge thank you to the staff and pupils who once again showed that this really is the best community to be working in and involved with. I was made to feel really special ( and left longing for a full head of hair again 😀 )
