Senior Phase Parents Night and Parent Council

Hello,

It has been a busy start to the new term already and as you will have noticed from the calendar it is our first Senior Phase Parents Night on Tuesday the 8th November.  Pupils will receive their booking form tomorrow morning during tutor time to make their appointments.  We look forward to seeing our Senior Phase Parents between 5:30 – 7:30pm.

At the same the Parent Council will be hosting their meeting. Please feel free to drop in if you are interested in coming along.  The Parent Council as always is keen to hear from the parent forum.  Any parents who wish to come along to the parent council should come the the Family Learning Hub between 6-8pm.

 

Speech and Monologue Winners!

It has been an exciting term for S1 – S3.  All pupils took part in writing a speech or monologue that they then presented to their class.  After much debate the following pupils were voted as the year group winners.  Congratulations to Hector, Marley and Kayden our fabulous S1 winners.  In S2 Kayla was voted as the ultimate speech writer along with Nieve in S3.  Well done to all of our winners!
