RBA P7 TRANSITION MAY 22

Dear parent / carer 

I am pleased to share with you the link to our P7 Information Video. As we are currently unable to welcome large groups of parents to the school for a face-to-face information evening, we decided to record a video that you can view with your child instead. This video should answer many of the questions you may have about the final stages of our transition programme. 

The video can be viewed by clicking the link below:

Or through our school blog’s P7 Transition section: 

https://blogs.glowscotland.org.uk/ea/therobertburnsacademy/p7-transition/ 

We would also like to invite you to an online drop-in session on Wednesday 25^th May from 6.30-7.30pm.  There will be no presentation or content shared during this session, this is an opportunity for parents and carers to ask any questions they may have. I would encourage you to watch the information video and look at the content on the P7 Transition page of our school blog in the first instance.  

You can join us for the online session via the following link:

SECOND LEVEL RELATIONSHIPS, SEXUAL HEALTH and PARENTHOOD

There have been many positive changes in Relationships, Sexual Health and Parenthood (RSHP) practice in recent years. Evaluations have shown that there is much about RSHP that children and young people like and enjoy in relation to their learning within RSHP at school.

However, learners also identified shortfalls in key areas such as the breadth of topics, relevance to the pressures they face in current-day relationships and a sense that RSHP is often not a ‘real’ subject, that it is occasionally tagged on, or given low priority.

This meant there was a need to reflect on how learners needs are met in an everchanging context, whether this is in terms of concerns we may have for children and young people, negative experiences of social media or partner violence – or positive cultural shifts, including increased awareness of the rights of learners with disabilities or LGBT young people.

Please click on the PDF below to view the information leaflet that your child came home with today.
