S3 PARENTS’ EVENING
A quick reminder this takes place on Tuesday 1 October 2024 from 4.15 p.m. to 6.45 p.m. in the Assembly Hall. Information on booking appointments with teachers will have been sent to the Main Contact email address we hold for students on our school records.
S6 UCAS INFORMATION SESSION
We are holdings an information session for all young people thinking about applying to further education via UCAS, and their parents and carers. This will take place in Barista on Wednesday 2 October 2024 from 6.00 p.m. to 7.00 p.m. Apologies for the short notice confirmation of this event as we were unsure if we were able to run it, but hopefully we will see many along.
DUKE OF EDINBURGH
We will be having a Parent & Carer Information Evening on Monday 7 October 2024 from 6.00 p.m. to 7.00 p.m. in Barista for students in S3 who are considering starting the Bronze Duke of Edinburgh Award. All welcome!
FAMILY LEARNING EVENT – HEALTHY LIVING
On Wednesday 9 October 2024 from 4.00 p.m. to 6.00 p.m. in the Assembly Hall and other locations around the school, we are having a family learning event focussed on healthy living. There will be lots of different things to try and do, either fun filled, energetic or relaxing, which will promote good wellbeing and bring us together as a school community. Free food and drink too. Feel free to come along – we are hoping for a great turnout to make this a successful and enjoyable event.
HELPING YOUR CHILD EVENINGS
We will have our Helping Your Child family learning evenings on Tuesday 22 October 2024 for S2/3 students and Wednesday 23 October 2024 for S4/5 students and their parents and carers between 4.30 p.m. and 6.30 p.m. These will start with a short presentation in the Assembly Hall, followed by activity within different departments to help parents and carers know more about how to support their child at each stage in their learning. A sign-up link for booking will be shared next week.
S6 PHOTOGRAPHS
We are aware of an issue with the proofs provided to students in S6 from recent School Photographs. Whilst these look great, they are not quite what was expected and we are in discussion with Tempest Photography for a reissue, hopefully next week, so that everyone can order what they need.
As you can see, we have lots and lots going on in school for parents and carers to be involved and we are really keen to see as many families joining us in various ways. I have attached an updated version of the School Calendar for reference.
Kind regards
David Falconer
Head Teacher
