Senior Parents Evening Letter

Parent Booking – Parent Guide

I am writing to let you know about an opportunity in The Robert Burns Academy which has been organised to support your child as they plan for progression and choices for the next stage of their education.

In order that you are fully aware of all the options which are available and the courses on offer we invite you to attend an information evening on Thursday 19 January at 7.00 pm.

During this evening there will be information available to help you support your child with their choices including:

• Information on Pathways and Options choices
• Skills Development Scotland input on Careers Information and Guidance
• Senior Management will be available to answer any questions which you may have

This is a very important time for your child and it is vital that you are equipped with as much information as possible to assist them to make the correct choices. We hope this information evening will go some way to ensuring this.

Please click on the link below to indicate your attendance at the Information Session:
