If your child is learning a musical instrument through Angus Council’s music service, we would like to discuss the possibility of more parental engagement regarding the running bands and orchestras, band camps, the youth orchestra and other extra-curricular activities.

Skills Development Scotland has produced a handy interactive guide giving an overview of the career information, advice and guidance support its professionally qualified advisers offer in schools.

Running from P5 to S6, the guide shows the support pupils, parents, carers, teachers and practitioners can expect at each school stage. You can click through from each section of the table for more information on the careers support on offer.

First year pupils Catie Mathieson and Toby Chung are the winners of the recently held school heat of the 2016/17 Future Chef Competition at Arbroath High School. They competed against fellow S1 pupils to produce an up-to-the minute main course meal for two, within one hour and costing no more than five pounds. After a closely fought round with fellow pupils, the judges, Headteacher Mr Pandrich and senior pupil and former two times winner, Rebecca Ramsay were unanimous in deciding that Toby and Catie had produced the tastiest dishes on the day and that both showed creative flair.

Catie and Toby now have the opportunity to work under the watchful eye of a mentor. They will produce a two course meal for two which they will cook in the Tayside heat to be held at Angus College in January 2017.
