Port Charlotte Primary School

I just wanted to write a short note of thank-you on the blog I started last year at the start of my time as a probationary teacher at Port Charlotte Primary. 

I was one of the first teachers to train long distance for the PGDE, and along with 5 others from around the island we pioneered the course for non Gaelic training here on Islay.  I want to thank those at Strathclyde University, especially Linda Keith, for their hard work and vision in setting up this course, as well as those at the local Gaelic college who gave us a home and mostly successful video conferencing facilities for a year!  To be able to train as a teacher, a challenging and rewarding profession, which I would not have been able to manage under normal circumstances living on an Island, has meant a great deal to me.

I was especially lucky to be placed at Port Charlotte Primary for my final year of training, a fantastic school, and would like to thank all the staff, children and parents who have helped me develop as a teacher over the year.  I have many fabulous memories to take away with me, and hope to continue to be part of the school community as a parent volunteer.

I hope the school blog will continue, as a place for children to record the details of school life that are important to them, to share with the outside world what it is to be a pupil at Port Charlotte Primary School-Lucky them!
