CHRISTMAS CHURCH SERVICE
On Thursday 22nd December the end of term Christmas service will be held at Nairn Old Parish Church from 1330. Parents, carers and other family members are welcome to attend. Sadly this will be Mr Brander’s last end of term service, please come along and wish him well.
THANKS FROM NAIRN ACADEMY
It was very pleasing to meet so many P6/7parents from our ASG at our Open Afternoon on Thursday 10th November. We value these opportunities to support parents, and young people, on their first steps transitioning into secondary school. Our next event is the “Teach the Parents” evening on Tuesday 17th January where parents will have an opportunity follow a short timetable and experience ‘life in the classroom’ again and be taught some valuable lessons, both curricular and extra-curricular! Children are also welcome to attend and enjoy some team building games or attend classes with their parents. More details to follow before the Christmas break“
