ICYMI last week - we have a deer problem so without robust guards, we can't plant trees 🙁
ICYMI last week - we have a deer problem so without robust guards, we can't plant trees 🙁
With Spring approaching we hope to do some tree planting around the grounds with the school children. We're looking to source some 1800mm x 600mm weldmesh tree guards for this. If anyone can donate some (or offer them at a reduced price) we'd be very grateful 🙏
Date for your diaries: our AGM will be held on the evening of Friday 27 September 2024, details tbc. Formal notice will be issued by the SCSB secretary in due course.
"A culture of cooperation" Good to see @LocalPeopleLead pick up on our story as featured recently in @heraldscotland scottishcommunityalliance.org.uk/2024/02/13/a-c…
One of the most inspiring projects I have seen in H&I, but the sheer graft that went into this by @StrontianCSB alongside @CHTScotland shouldn't be underestimated. Needless to say, it shouldn't have been as hard as it was considering the goal and benefits.

Two communities that have been denied school 🏫 rebuilds and upgrades are considering following the historic lead of Strontian, which raised £1million to build its own @StrontianCSB heraldscotland.com/news/24056714.…

Our school is looking for a new headteacher (jointly with Ardnamurchan High School - the post is 3-18 campus head). Do you want to be head of the only community-built school in Scotland? (of course you do....!) s1jobs.com/job/head-teach…
Message for our members: we have today paid share interest at the usual 3% - check your bank accounts. And a huge thank you to all those members who generously waived their interest, over £1600 in total this year!
Reminder: it's our AGM today at 5pm, with a celebration at 4pm with the school of our 5th anniversary of opening.

A heads-up that our AGM will be held this year on Monday 30 October - formal notice will be issued by the Secretary shortly. But do you know what else makes this a particularly special day for us? Reply with your answers!
