Playground Refresh Day – 2nd March 2024
It is official – we have THE BEST school community – pupils, staff, parents and wider community members all turned out on a soggy Saturday morning in March to try and bring some new life to our drab and dreary playground. There is now a lovely new bedding plant area, some flowers and wild seed has been planted, the forest area behind the sgoil araich has been gutted and cleared ready for more work. The old forest school area has been moved, the sgoil araich garden has had a refresh and the polycrub is full to bursting with new compost and potted plants & veggies. Go Team Dunvegan!

Blythswood Shoebox Appeal 2023
We are delighted to be taking part in the Blythswood Shoebox appeal this year. We had a lovely visit from Elma MacKay who showed us all a presentation on what happens when we give a Blythswood Shoebox at Christmas. We are asking for donations of empty shoe boxes, pre wrapped shoe boxes, items to add to the shoe boxes or fully wrapped and filled boxes – every little bit of help will make a huge difference. If all items could be in school by the end of the first week back after the October Holidays.
