As promised, we will be hosting a ‘Tea @ 3’ session to check-in with our most recent cohort of S1’s and to hear about how you have settled into life as S1s at RBA!
Our sessions will be held on Friday 26th September and Friday 3rd October 3-4pm. S1 pupils are reminded that they must enter via the Community Entrance.
This is an opportunity for new S1 pupils to check in with primary staff they trust, whilst they are still building relationships with staff at the Robert Burns Academy, and have a chat about their new school, subjects, friends, or any worries they have.
