Welcome to the News section of the website. I hope you find it interesting and useful in keeping you informed of the many events that happen in Victoria Park School.

• Scholastic book fair

  Tue 08 Mar 2016

  A massive thanks to everyone who bought books, stationery and anything else from the Scholastic book fair last week! We beat our target of £2500 and raised over £2600. This means that we have earned commission that will enable us spend over £1500 on books for the school. Thanks as well to Mrs Walker for organising the fair and helping make it such a huge success again.

• Parent Interviews

  Mon 07 Mar 2016

  A reminder that the children finish at 1.30pm each day this week apart from Thursday to facilitate parent interviews. We finish at 12.00pm on Thursday for the official school building opening. Please note school dinners are not served that day.

  We love World Book Day! Brilliant and imaginative costumes, great storytellers and lucky prizewinners in Mrs Walker's bookmark competition - what more could you want?

• World Book Day

  Fri 04 Mar 2016

  Listen to our librarian, Mrs Walker, and pupils and parents at the book fair talking so enthusiastically about World Book Day. The piece is about 50 minutes in. 

• Delamont Outdoor Education Centre

  Thu 03 Mar 2016

  The excitement is building for the P7 residentials at Delamont Outdoor Education Centre in April! Mr Ryden had a lovely morning down there to finalise the arrangements for the visits. There will be an information meeting for the parents of those children going on Monday 14th March at 3pm.

• Coffee and Crafts

  Tue 01 Mar 2016

  A big thank you to all the P1, P2 and P3 parents who have accepted Mrs Lennox's invitation to come along to her Coffee and Crafts morning on Thursday 3rd March. We're so pleased to know you'll be there! It's World Book Day too, so we're celebrating by giving away a hamper full of children's picture books (worth £85) to one lucky little reader. All parents who attend the coffee morning will be entered into a prize draw to win these wonderful books for their child. The winning ticket will be announced at the event. Titles included are: Stuck and The Incredible Book-Eating Boy by Oliver Jeffers, Creaturepedia , Wild by Emily Hughes, The Tiger Who Came To Tea by Judith Kerr, The Paper Dolls by Julia Donaldson, Silly Billy by Anthony Browne and I Want My Hat Back by Jon Klassen. Looking forward to seeing you there!

• Victor Sinclair Cup

  Tue 01 Mar 2016

  Commiserations to the football team after they lost on penalties against Seaview in the semi-finals of the Victor Sinclair Cup. The match itself finished 0-0 but unfortunately it wasn't to be in the resulting shoot-out. St John the Baptist were the eventual winners after they won 1-0 in the final. We then drew 2-2 against Inchmarlo in the third-place play-off. The team were disappointed not to go all the way but they can feel very proud of getting to this stage of the competition.
