On, Thursday, 4 October 2012, Dunoon Grammar School held an information evening for parents of S1 pupils. The evening was opened by a talk from Mr Shaw (Head Teacher) and Mr McLean (S1 Year Head). The parents of some S1 pupils were able to visit the many different departments in the school, where each department had a display of the work they had already done with the new S1. The evening was not a usual parents evening – where the parent and teacher sit down to discuss the pupil’s progress and behaviour – but instead to allow the parents to see, as a whole, what S1 have been doing in their classes. There were a number of senior students and prefects who helped out on the evening to guide the parents around the school. The evening was very informative and showed how well the new S1 have settled in to Dunoon Grammar School.
Mr McLean, S1 Year Head, said:
“It was great to see so many parents attend the evening. I hope they found it not only informative but also entertaining. It is good to see how well the new S1 are progressing in their classes.”
