15th January 2007

Doon Academy’s Burns Supper will be held on Wednesday 7th February. Tickets are priced at £4.00 and are available from Mrs. Cassidy or the school office.

Mrs Cockayne has temporarily joined the Technical department following Mr Redmond’s retirement. We wish Mr Redmond a long and happy retirement and welcome Mrs Cockayne to Doon. Mrs McLatchie is temporarily acting PT of the Technology faculty.

Mr Gooding is acting PT Pupil Support while Mrs McRoberts is on maternity leave. We wish Mrs McRoberts well with her new baby when he/she arrives. Mrs Freireich is temporarily replacing Mr Gooding in the Science department.

Other changes in staffing have occurred recently. Mrs Rodger has moved to Cumnock Academy as Acting PT Support for Learning and Mrs Murray has moved to the Support for Learning Department here in Doon from the Supported Learning Centre. Miss Miller from Business Education Department has moved part-time into the Supported Learning Centre and Mr Shevlin is temporarily covering classes in Computing and in the Supported Learning Centre.

Miss Taylor left the PE department at Christmas to work down in London. Unfortunately we have been unable to find a replacement teacher for her yet.

We wish the above teachers all the very best in their new posts.

Mrs Bax and Mrs Nicol are running a Library Club on Thursdays after school. Everyone is welcome - so see Mrs Nicol or Mrs Bax for more information if you are interested!

The Science, Art, Cricket and Swimming Clubs were up and running last week and more are starting up again this week. Watch the noticeboards!

S2 pupils in Science visited Paisley University on Wednesday, January 17. The pupils took part in various science and engineering experiments and everyone found the day very interesting and enjoyable.
