<p>To support the children&#39;s mental health and well-being we are looking to purchase outdoor equipment to encourage outdoor play. This will have a positive impact physically and mentally for the children and will allow a more fun approach to learning.</p> <p>We would also like to put &pound;150 towards to cost of free school discos for all the children to attend and enjoy.</p>

<p>With the cost of living crisis it has proved a challenge to fundraise. The team&nbsp;will be going to their first ever abroad tournament in Holland in March 2024.&nbsp;</p> <p>We have done a huge amount of fundraising to cover the costs of all the boys to travel and stay in Holland.&nbsp;</p> <p>We are applying to this fund to help cover the costs of meals,&nbsp;strips and a zip track top.&nbsp;</p>

<p>We are looking to secure funding which will be used to support the pupils of Whitehirst Park Primary&nbsp;school. Funding will be used for transport, which will allow pupils to attend sporting events and events involving the arts (Music, Drama and Expressive Arts). Securing this funding will ensure that we can work actively to support our children from&nbsp;the school by allowing them to experience a range of opportunites whilst enhancing&nbsp;their learning. The opportunities to&nbsp;engage them in the lessons and learning they are exposed to in school, but in an out of school environment will help them understand the importane of their learning and give them long lasting memories. Some additional funding will be used to supplement the in-school resources related to these subjects.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>Castlepark Primary School Parent Council are applying for funding to support the running of the schools&nbsp;Breakfast Club.</p>

<p>Largs Primary School Parent Council wish to fund the Primay 7 Residential trip to reduce the social inequities in attendance. The grant will contribute to learning opportunities, engaging children in their own education and teaching them key lifeskills such as independence and team work. Children learn in a variety of ways, outdoor learning is especially helpful in supporting children at risk of disengaging from education, thus contributing to ongoing cycles of deprivation. Engaged and educated young people who can work in teams contribute positively to their own lives and local areas.</p>

<p>The St. Bridget&#39;s Show Group provides the opportunity for pupils from Primary 4 to 7 to participate in a weekly after school club, to develop their skills in Music, Dance and Drama. This opportunity to expand their knowledge of the Expressive Arts also encourages communication and community as well as building the confidence of all pupils involved. The group will rehearse a Musical and perform this on stage for the rest of the school and local community.&nbsp;</p> <p>This experience not only provides the opportunity for our pupils to explore Drama, Music and Dance at a greater depth, but a chance to perform on stage in a full scale musical.&nbsp;</p>
