Tollcross Summer Disco
There will be a tuck shop on the night selling goodies and we’ll be sharing any profits made equally between the Tollcross and Taobh na Pairce fundraising committees so please bring your pennies with you.
We really need adult volunteers to help run the discos to ensure that everyone has a great time and stays safe. If you are able to help please send your details to tollcrossparentcouncil@gmail.co.uk or leave your details (name, telephone number and/or email address) with the school office and we’ll be in touch. You can volunteer to help with both sessions or only one depending on your availability.
Nursery children and younger siblings are very welcome to come along to the Junior Disco although a parent or guardian must stay in the school building.
We’re looking forward to seeing you all there!

Ministers visit Tollcross Primary
Dr Alasdair Allan MSP, Minister for Learning, Science & Scotland’s Languages and Shona Robison MSP, Minister for Commonwealth Games & Sport visited Tollcross Primary this morning. During their visit, ministers met our P6/7 pupils and shared the Outdoor PE Route our pupils have created at the Union Canal. We are sure they enjoyed their visit.
This is what the ministers said about the Outdoor PE Project …
“Really impressed with the use of technology in this project. Kids really enjoyed the activities and were “puffed” by the end, which is what I like to see ! Would be good to see this idea shared with schools across Scotland.”
Shona Robison, Sports Minister
“Great to see the school so involved in designing and using something that helps you learn and keep fit at the same time. Sure other schools will want to copy.
Alastair Allan, Schools Minister
Upper School Sports
Thank you to everyone who came along to offer their support this afternoon. Great to hear everyone encouraging each other and trying their best !
