St Mary's Health Promoting School:
Like other schools all over Scotland, St Mary’s has Health Promoting School status, which means that we seek to improve
the health of our pupils through what we do physically and what we eat.
We have had a considerable increase recently in the number of clubs providing physical activities after school and we
still maintain our extra-curricular activities of Netball, Football, Badminton and Basketball.
The school participates in many games festivals organised by the City Council Education Department.
The appointment of our Healthy Eating Assistant has helped to encourage better eating at lunchtimes and provide
a healthy eating tuck shop in the Infants.
Free fruit in the afternoons for Primary 1 and 2 is helping to develop a healthier diet.

The school and its community:
The Lochee Community has a very distinct identity and pupils associate themselves with the area
and the services which help support their education and growth.
The Community Policeman, the Library, the Health Centre, the shop traders, retailers and churches all
contribute to the school community and positive links have been established with them.
The Old Folks Club which meets in St Mary's Church Hall and the residents of Wellburn House
benefit from visits by the children to entertain.
The P.T.A. also promotes occasions which bring families together such as the Family Fun Day and the Bingo Night.
If you would like more information about the Parent Council please click on the link to the P.T.A. page.
Please remember, if you have any problem, no matter how small, do not hesitate to contact us.
