Danestone Diamonds
Term 1 2023-2024
This term we relaunched our wider achievement award to rename it our Danestone Diamonds Award. We started the term by holding a 'Design a Mascot' competition, so that all the pupils could share their ideas for our new mascot.
Once we had all the entries, we held a vote to choose our favourite. We now have an amazing new logo.

ASG Girls Football Tournament
To promote girls football across the ASG, Aberdeen Active Schools hosted a special Girls Football Tournament. To represent Danestone we had a team of girls from Primary 5-7.
