🖤💛 A whole new academic year lies ahead of us. Goodness knows what all we will get up to! 😁😁😁
We would love you to be part of it. Our AGM, followed by a brief meeting, will be held on Tuesday 15th September at 6pm in the Learning Plaza at school (pop in the front doors and we'll guide you up there). No experience required, all are warmly welcomed - we would LOVE to see you there🖤💛

This will be great fun! We hope the whole community gets very competitive with this. You can go one better than your neighbours - we know you can! Get your scarecrows built, your entries registered by 25th September, with judging taking place on the 27th September. How exciting!! A big well done Annan Community Council ( Annan Online ) for organising 😀😃😃

🎉🥅🥅🎉More good news for our school🎉🥅🥅🎉

Big thanks to Parent Council member Nick Martin, whose application on our behalf to CX Technology Campus has today been announced successful 👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼
We have been awarded £500 funding towards buying and installing new goalposts at school. Over time the existing goalposts have become in really quite a poor state so their replacement will be very much welcomed by the PE Department and the school as a whole 🖤💛

Well done Nick and a big thank you to CX Technology Campus for....literally....helping us towards our goals 🥅🥅

Our very excited voices have been on news bulletins across the region this afternoon, and now here are our very excited faces too. A big well done and thank you to Annan Academy pupil Olivia Bicket for joining us in our excitement. Miss Todd wasn't able to be there for filming with us today, but let's give her another big cheer because this only happened because of her and her thoroughly infectious enthusiasm and stamina 💪🏼
