RSHP Parent Steering Group
Members of our parent body have raised concerns about the content of Relationships Sexual Health and Parenting (RSHP) lessons and have already highlighted their intention to extract their children from this area of the curriculum.
As part of our School Improvement Plan, Mrs McNulty is therefore looking to create a Parent Group to develop knowledge and understanding, as well as confidence, within our parents and carers, to ensure effective delivery and outcomes of RSHP here at New Cumnock Primary.
Is this something you feel strongly about or feel you have little knowledge of? Do you have time to join us to share your thoughts or questions?
Please complete the Form below and Mrs McNulty will contact all parents who have registered, to arrange a meeting in the near future.

Anti-Bullying Week
This week we will raise awareness of Anti-Bullying Week.
Parents/carers are invited to view the Respect Me link below.
Parents/carers have access to lots of support and guidance here. There are podcasts, videos and a variety of activities to access.
This week, each class will be involved in designing a poster in line with the theme, ‘listen up’. As well as this, everyone will design their own bunting which will be collated in order to create a whole school display of unity.
The campaign manifesto:
The impact of bullying can be profound and can have serious short and long term effects on the physical, emotional and mental wellbeing of children and young people. We must be clear that bullying is a violation of children’s rights.
Children need to be protected from bullying behaviour so that they can survive, develop and participate in a fulfilling life. As adults, we all have an important role to play to help protect and fulfil these rights by creating opportunities for young people to participate in decision making on matters that affect them.
From teachers and professionals to parents and carers, we all have a responsibility to consider the needs of children and young people. We are calling on everyone to ‘Listen Up!’ and respect the rights of children and young people by putting children’s rights at the heart of all effective responses to bullying.
Across Scotland, we will be asking children and young people in schools, youth settings and at home, to engage with the campaign theme by taking part in our class-based lessons, through art, drama and dance, and through our new youth-led activities exploring themes of children’s rights within the context of bullying and kindness.
