Clan Gathering

Our Primary School pupils gathered at H@PP recently for our inaugural Clan Gathering.

Coming together in their four House colours, pupils were greeted by the bagpipes to kick-off the day with a true Scottish welcome.

Enjoying activities such as; Haggis Hurling, Welly Wanging, Caber Tossing, Archery, Highland Dancing, Tug of War, Nerf Gun Range, Sock Battling, and Defending the Sword, to name but a few, even our Rector, Mr Martin, joined the Tug of War to a triumphant cheer.

Pupils also surprised Mr Cornfoot, our Head of Primary School & Depute Rector, with a cake and a joyful rendition of ‘Happy Birthday’ to celebrate his special ‘big’ birthday.

The Clan Gathering was an opportunity for the pupils to meet and mix with different children within their houses and feel a sense of belonging, both for our current and new pupils.

The day started with everyone proudly marching in to the bagpipes behind their House flag and ended with a full school dance off. There were certainly a few tired children by the end of it, but all with wide smiles.

A big thank you and well done to everyone involved and to Dan Nevans for playing the bagpipes.
