The Nursery has a lovely 8 newly refurbished setting in the school building. P1-7 are in a porta cabin in the grounds. School meals are cooked at Kinmylies Primary School and transported to Dochgarroch. As we do not have a hall, children in the small room just off the nursery and can choose to eat outside at our picnic tables if the weather is nice. We utilize our outdoor area well and make sure that the children are outside as much as possible. THE SCHOOL ATMOSPHERE AND ETHOS AT Dochgarroch we are happy, hard-working, respectful and inclusive. Our staff, parents, children and community work well together and we are a strong team. Achievements: At Dochgarroch we celebrate achievements on a regular basis. Children are given lots of opportunities to achieve. We have achievement assemblies where children are awarded a certificate for things like effort, kindness and hard work. Pupil Voice and Roles In our school every child is valued and given opportunities to lead and help shape the school. Our Pupil Voice group is made up with everyone in the class. They meet twice a term with Mrs Wojtunik to discuss how to improve the school. 9 The Wider Community: Our vision is for Dochgarroch to become a true community school working in strong partnerships with those in the local area.

We also hold coffee mornings, big breakfasts, fundraisers and lots more! We also hold cluster events such as ‘Big Breakfast’, E safety information session and Numeracy workshop to inform parents about aspect of our School Improvement Plan.

EDUCATION WITHIN OUR SCHOOL THE PURPOSES OF THE CURRICULUM In Dochgarroch we are engaging with the Curriculum for Excellence and staff plan using the experiences and outcomes and benchmarks for the 8 curricular areas. The experiences and outcomes describe the expectations for learning and progression in all areas of the curriculum. The benchmarks are used alongside professional judgement to assess whether or not a child has achieved a level. The Levels in Curriculum for Excellence that children work within are: Nursery and P1 – Early Primary 2 to Primary 4 – First Primary 5 to Primary 7 – Second The title ‘experiences and outcomes’ recognises the importance of the quality and nature of the learning experience in developing attributes and capabilities and in achieving active engagement, motivation and depth of learning. An outcome represents what is to be achieved. The purposes of the Curriculum are outlined in the Scottish Executive’s document ‘A Curriculum for Excellence (2004)’:‘To enable all young people to become Successful Learners; Confident Learners; Responsible Citizens and Effective Contributors’ The Primary Curriculum consists of 8 Curricular Areas: Literacy, Mathematics and Numeracy, Health and Wellbeing, Social Studies, Sciences, Technologies, Expressive Arts, Religious and Moral Education. Those in bold form the CORE curriculum.

The index to the first 28 volumes was one large index with no sub-divisions. As a great number of queries were published it was decided to include these in a section of their own from volume 29 onwards. From volume 41 the index was split into the following sections: General index; Article Titles; Contributors; Reviews; Work in Progress; Queries. A separate section for Illustrations was included in the index for volumes 45-52. NUMBERING There has not been uniformity in the numbering format used by the different compilers of the indexes. A volume covers one year during which 4 journals were issued usually in March, June, September and December. In the current index these have been harmonised to follow the most commonly used pattern: Volume number - Roman numerals capitals Journal number - Roman numerals lower case Page number - Arabic numerals Example: XXXIX.iv.116 -Volume 39, December issue, page 116. Page numbering Page numbering in the journals has not been consistent over the years.

    Scotland Great Glen Way Walk & Barge Itinerary June 12-23, 2019 “Fingal of Caledonia” -- our floating accommodation This 12-day adventure starts in Glasgow for some good Scottish fun, getting to know Glasgow via a food walking tour. Then it's off to Fort William to hike Ben Nevis, Scotland's tallest mountain at 4,406' elevation (optional). Our 7-day, 79-mile walk along the Great Glen Way follows The Caledonian Canal, a ship canal built in the 1800s that links the east and west coasts of Scotland via several large inland lochs, including Loch Ness. The hiking track follows the waterway, sometimes right alongside it on historic tow paths and other times high above the lochs and canals on ancient roads and forest tracks. The views along the Way are exquisite--majestic mountains, large expanses of open water, smaller atmospheric lochs and pretty canal sections. Each night we'll stay on a barge where the crew caters to our every need, providing local/cultural/historical information and chef-prepared meals.We'll end our adventure in Inverness and a visit to Culloden Battlefield and the Clava Cairns--both sites familiar to "Outlander" fans! 2019 Great Glen Way Walk & Barge June 12-23, 2019 Trip Overview Trip overview-visit Glasgow, then travel to Fort William and walk to Inverness Day 1 Wednesday Arrive in Glasgow; 5:00 pm group meeting.
