Parent Council

Today at our first meeting, we had a visit from Mrs Ritchie on behalf of the Parent Council.

Mrs Ritchie explained to us what the Parent Council do and gave us some examples. They organise the school discos and the sponsored walk. They support the school by providing bookbags for the younger pupils and help pay for the P7 Final Fling.

Mrs Ritchie explained that the Parent Council would like to work more closely with the Pupil Council.

The Parent Council are looking for new members this year. She explained that new Parent members can bring along their children to meetings. Activities will be available for the children to do during the meetings.

Mrs Ritchie has asked the Pupil Council for their support by talking to their class about the Parent Council and encouraging children to talk to their parents about it.

She has also asked the members to ask pupils for their ideas for a family evening as the disco is unavailable in October. She explained that in the past they have had a bingo evening and a beetle drive.

Council members will consult with their classes and bring their responses along to our next meeting.

Photographs of our Pupil Council will be taken at our next meeting

Meeting ended at 2.00pm

Pupil Council Elections will be held next week with results announced on Friday 14th September at Assembly.

Our Pupil Council needs people who

• are good listeners
• will share the views and opinions of their class
• work well with others
• are sensible
• are enthusiastic
• are hard working and helpful
• can give up some of their own time to help others in the school

Think about these qualities when voting for your representative.

It is so exciting and I cannot wait to work alongside the new members.

The benches which we have purchased in memory of Mrs Murray will be put in place this week. We will have a ceremony to unveil them and we have invited members of her family to join us.

Photographs will be posted here after the event.
