  • At the end of June, we say good bye to our amazing Miss Greig, as she travels abroad to pastures new! Miss Greig, as one of our original Calderwood Champions, has been instrumental in shaping and creating Primary 1 at Calderwood, leaving a legacy behind for future clans and champions. She has also lead and implemented many initiatives within our Health and Wellbeing curriculum. Miss Greig has a caring, creative approach, always going above and beyond for the children and families in her clan. She is loved across our children, families and champions, and will be greatly missed at Calderwood! I personally would like to thank Miss Greig for her dedicated to our Calderwood family, and wish her all the luck and happiness for her adventure. Her last day at Calderwood will be 26^th
