Pupils mark day of school graduations

BUN-SGOIL Gàidhlig Loch Abar celebrated two of its classes moving on to their next stages last Thursday (June 30).

The school held a special assembly to mark the graduation of its first nursery class, or Sgoil-àraich, whose pupils will move up to class one after the holiday.

At the same time, staff and pupils took the opportunity to formally say goodbye to the C7 class who will be starting at Lochaber High School.

Head teacher John-Joseph MacNeil said: ‘ We had a lovely morning celebrating our children in sgoil-àraich graduating as well as celebrating the many successes and achievements of our children and school community.

‘It was also an opportunity for us to wish our C7 all the very best as they move onto Lochaber high school. It has been an amazing first year for us here at Bun- Sgoil Gàidhlig Loch Abar. We thank all our staff, parents, families, members of the community and our partners far and wide for their continued support.’
