Hello to Cairns and Cathkin Primary Schools...

Hi there all you P7 pupils coming up to Cathkin High School in August. We hope you are looking forward to joining us. Not long to go now, you must be very excited about your big move!

We know you might have some questions and concerns about the move and we are here to help. Some of the Cathkin students are in your school today helping you to learn all about Weblogs and Podcasting. This site was set up to help you learn all about your move to high school and today you will learn how to post comments and questions about any concerns you might have about starting secondary school...

Will you get lost ?

How many teachers will you have ?

What subjects will you take ?

Will the big kids be nasty to me ?

Are there any clubs I can join ?

Read some of the comments from other P7 pupils at West Coats and James Aiton Schools. Have a look at the comments from Cathkin first years about their experiences of coming to high school last year.

So get blogging and we will try to answer your comments as soon as possible. And if you are interested, join the Blog and Podcast group when you come up to Cathkin.

Cathkin S1's comment....

Some of our S1 pupils who came up to Cathkin High last August are going to tell you about their experiences of the move. Read their comments here, and then leave your own.

Cathkin Says No To Bullying

Some of you are worried about being bullied, please don't worry about this. All of the teachers and staff in Cathkin High School work together to make sure that Cathkin is a Bully Free Zone.

Relax, you will be well looked after.

GETTING LOST

Hello boys and girls, lots of you are worried about getting lost in your new school. Don't worry. Cathkin High is a BIG SCHOOL but within a few weeks you'll know your way around and you'll be using all the short cuts. In your first few weeks the Senior Pupils are dotted around the school to make sure you find your class. So... Chill!!!!

HAPPY HOMEWORK

Don't worry about homework. Trust me, you will survive!!! A handy tip is to use your Cathkin Diary and write everything down!!!!!!

..A message from Mrs Arthur - Head Teacher at Cathkin High School

I'm looking forward to welcoming all of you to Cathkin High School for two days in May. You'll have a fantastic time taking part in lessons in some exciting subjects, getting to know new friends, meeting new teachers and beginning to find out about lots of activities which are on offer at Cathkin High. Until then I'll enjoy reading your blogs and hopefully hearing all about you and your primary schools.
Have fun!

Mrs Arthur

Introducing the new 7Ups Blog site...

Hello primary sevens and welcome to the fab new 7ups blog page.
This page has been specially designed for you to keep in contact with me so that I can answer any questions you might have about going up to high school.

Primary seven is a fantastic year and we will be working on lots of different exciting projects together like the 7ups magazine and 7ups science stuff but it is also a time of change when you are moving on up to secondary school and moving from the familiar into the un-familiar.
Don't worry, It is my job to make sure you make a happy and successful transition and I will do my best for each and everyone one of you.

You, your friends and parents/carers can leave your comments here and I will do my best to answer them. You don't have to leave your real name if you don't want to....

I look forward to hearing from you.

Mrs J Cox (p6-S2 Raising achievement co-ordinator)
