If you require any information from the previous School News page, please use the School News - Archive option from the menu at the top of the screen.

🏃McRobert Cup Success 🏆
A huge well done to the McRobert Cup team who did an amazing job of representing the school today! P4/5 girls finished 3rd overall in their category and P6/7 boys came 1st! P4/5 boys and P6/7 girls finished just outside the medal placings but had excellent races nonetheless.
Lochardil Health and Wellbeing Family Engagement Event Thursday 21st March 2024
All Welcome!
Join us on Thursday 21 March in our school hall between 6.30pm and 8pm to explore a range of organisations, groups and networks that are in our community and can support health and wellbeing of all the family. All adults and children welcome.
Good health and wellbeing is central to effective learning, life and work. This aspiration for every child and young person can only be met if schools and their partners work closely to support health and wellbeing, taking account of local circumstances and individual needs. At Lochardil we are aiming to enhance relationships, develop the skills and confidence of our children and families and open up communication whilst building partnerships.

Wild Things Easter Events
Wild Things have a holiday club for 7-12yrs and a family bushcraft day in Lochardil woods over the Easter holidays. Wild Things have asked if we would let parents know about this opportunity. These are funded so it's only a £10 booking fee and the activity runs from 10.30.-3.00. https://wild-things.org.uk/adventures/
Wild Things also have some days designed for 18+ which again are only a £10 booking fee.
