Oyne Primary School goes the distance with Olympian Eilish

Pupils at Oyne Primary had a special visitor last Friday (November 22) when Scottish Olympian and Commonwealth athlete Eilish McColgan spent a morning with pupils, staff and parents.

The visit, organised by Active Schools Aberdeenshire and supported by local business Logie Country House, was arranged through the “Champions In Scotland” programme.

The Dundee-born runner spoke to pupils from P1 to P7 about her career so far and focused on how pupils could achieve their “personal best”.

She led a short session of dynamic warms ups and one of the highlights of the morning was a question and answer session, which included some parents with children at the school.
