Scotland Supports Ukraine Refugees
Scotland is well known for supporting people in need of refuge and safety.
Article 38 of the United Nations Convention for the Rights of the Child says that “governments around the world must do everything they can to protect and care for children affected by war and armed conflicts.”
This Friday (25/3/22), we are asking all children to come to school dressed in the colours of the Ukrainian flag- YELLOW and BLUE.
We are asking all those who are able, to pay a £1 donation via ParentPay for the Ukrainian Refugee Appeal.
Let’s raise as much money as possible and show our support for Ukrainian refugees.
We are looking forward to seeing everyone in their YELLOW and BLUE outfits!

Learning Together National Network – National Child Online Safety Campaign
National Child Online Safety Campaign
A new National Child Online Safety Campaign launched on 8 February to coincide with Safer Internet Day. The campaign is being led by the Scottish Government with Child Protection Committees Scotland, Police Scotland and other a range of third sector partners.
The campaign aims to increase awareness of the importance of online safety to parents and carers of children aged 8-11 year olds, and reassure and inform them that the skills they apply offline to help keep their children safe can be used tohelp protect them online too.
A supporting Parent Club webpage includes practical ideas and advice for parents and the Parent Club toolkit sets out simple ways in which partner organisations can further support the campaign.
