Summer Fun
Summer Family Fun sessions ran for three weeks during the holidays and offered a mix
of sport, cooking and crafts. Sessions were run jointly by Community Link, Active
Schools, Sports Development and Adult Learning. Sessions were also held for children
with additional support needs and all were well attended. The focus of these free events
was for families to enjoy time together and everyone participated well in all of the
activities. Future event will be advertised on the school website, twitter and via leaflets
home.

Strathclyde University’s Clinical Labs to carry
out a practical investigation on the uses of
polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in science.

diagnosing rhesus disease in new born
babies using PCR.
