P7 Transition to Robert Burns Academy – A Reminder of Key Dates
- P7 Information Evening – Wednesday 5th June 6.30 – 8.00pm
This is an information evening for P7 parents and carers. The evening will start with a presentation in Barony Hall, which will cover the timeline of the transition process for this year, including what will happen during the two induction days in June. There will also be information on the S1 curriculum and how to stay in touch with the school, including key contacts for you and your child. Handouts will be available, which will include answers to frequently asked questions as well as links to online platforms. When the presentation concludes you will be given the opportunity to explore the school building, some pupils and members of staff will be on hand to give more details regarding their subject area and assist you in finding your way around the building. In addition to this, many of our partners who offer supports in school, and to the local community, will also be on hand to discuss some of the work they do. Please use the QR code on the attached letter (link below) to complete a short Glow form confirming your attendance. If your child will be attending the Supported Learning Centre (SLC) next year then you should attend the main presentation in Barony Hall before being accompanied to the SLC where staff will be able to show you the facilities.
- Induction Days – Tuesday 11th and Wednesday 12th June
Primary 7 pupils will be visiting the school for a two day ‘induction’ on Tuesday 11th and Wednesday 12th June. Transport arrangements for the days will be advised nearer the time. The purpose of these days is to allow new S1 pupils to meet their new schoolmates and teachers, while experiencing some of the learning activities from the S1 curriculum. P7 classes will also be shown a video made by some of senior students, featuring interviews with many of our staff members and giving them some tips for success before they arrive in June. - Transition Letter April 24
