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
Next meeting will be on Friday 28th September – time to be confirmed.
Mrs Brechin thanked everyone for coming today.
