Members of Unite, GMB and UNISON will be taking strike action on Wednesday 20th August, 2008. Staff groups which may be involved include Janitors, Cleaners, Kitchen Staff, Pupil Support Assistants and Office Staff.
The particular circumstances relating to Culter School are that there will be no staff working in the office, kitchen or cleaning the school. Most Pupil Support Staff will not be in school.
Consequently I regret to inform you that the school will be closed to all pupils tomorrow (Wednesday).
I am aware of the disruption and inconvenience this action will cause to families however it is not possible to operate safely with the number of support staff who will be in school on Wednesday and therefore I have no alternative but to close the school.
I look forward to welcoming the children back on Thursday at 9.00am as usual.
As part of the 2008 Aberdeen Arts Carnival, Pipe Major Ian Dallas of 2008 Scottish and British Bucksburn & District Novice Juvenile Pipe Band will be holding a week long workshop for Chanter and Great Highland Bagpipes. this workshop is aimed at 8 -14 year olds, with no prior experience necessary - a great chance for budding musicians to try out our Scottish National Instument, Bagpipes.

Local Drumming Tutor and Lead Drummer of Grampian Police Pipe Band, Nick Gibson, will be holding a week long workshop at Aberdeen Arts Centre.

Taking place on Monday 4th-Friday 8th August, from 10am - 12pm, this is a sure fire way to keep the kids occupied through the holidays.
All workshops will take place within Aberdeen Arts Centre, just off the city’s King Street. For further information about the many classes offered during the weeks long Aberdeen Arts Centre, log onto the Arts Centre Website at www.aberdeenartscentre.org.uk or call 01224 635208.

One of our pupils attended the 2008 City of Aberdeen Highland Games at the weekend. Techfest were present and set maths and science activites to challenge drop-in visitors. One of the challenges was a K’NEX Tower Challenge. He won by building the highest stable tower recorded on the day at 1.25metres! Unfortunately we don’t have a picture of his tower, but here he is holding up a ’Head Teacher Award’. He received a prize of K’NEX from Techfest and his name is on the Techfest website as a September winner. An engineer in the making?
