TIME CAPSULE COMPETITION at INVERNESS CASTLE 2023
The children in last year's P5/6 class had a surprise visit on Wednesday 30th August 2023 to mark the launch of the Time Capsule competition that they won last session. They met footballers, a local councillor and even got to eat a Harry Gow's Dream Ring.
Photos will be in the press today and Miss Glass has been interviewed on MFR earlier today.
I've attached photos here.
We're now waiting to go and visit the Castle and bury the time capsule, which will be reopened in 50 years' time.

Information about school clothing grants and how to apply:
School Clothing Grants 👪
The Highland Council will provide support towards the costs of school clothing to many families. This will help children from primary 1 to secondary schools in Highland to be better equipped to attend school, focus on their education and fully participate in school life whilst easing the financial pressures for parents and carers.
Applications are now being invited by The Highland Council for the academic year starting in August 2020. Assistance with school clothing can be claimed if parents and carers are receiving any one of the following:
● Income Support
● Universal Credit (where the monthly earned income does not exceed £610).
● Income-based Job Seekers Allowance
● Any income related element of Employment and Support Allowance
● Child Tax Credit, but not in receipt of Working Tax Credit, and your income is less than £16,105 (as assessed by the HMRC)
● Child Tax Credit and Working Tax Credit and an income below £6,420 (as assessed by the HMRC)
● If a young person is 16 to 18 years old and receive any of these benefits in their own right, then they can claim for themselves.
● An asylum seeker receiving support
● Pension Credit Guarantee Credit
To streamline the application process, the Council has a single application form for school clothing grants and free school meals. Applications can be made online at
See below for information about a grant available to some parents of new P1 pupils:
