The National Parent Forum of Scotland has been working with Skills Development Scotland to produce some tailored information for parents, as part of their successful “in a nutshell” series, which covers the new Careers Education Standard. This new nutshell will supply parents with basic information about the initial role of this programme in schools.  Please see link below.  This has also been produced in a hard copy which will be given out to the children.

As part of the Eco Committee’s work toward their Green Flag, they are raising awareness of where energy comes from and how we can use it more wisely.
They have installed a Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) box at the reception which can be used to recycle unwanted electrical equipment.
The items will be recycled free of charge by East Renfrewshire Council.

We are looking for unwanted or broken computer consoles, hair-dryers, IPod, cables, mobile phones and chargers, etc.

Last Thursday, a group of children from our Badminton after school club won the Cluster Tournament in Springhill and Auchenback.
They achieved a fantastic 105 points out of a possible 110!

 On Tuesday 24th November, they played in the East Renfrewshire Badminton Finals and came second place in the authority. We are all very proud of this fantastic achievement and the children thoroughly enjoyed representing Barrhead and the school. 

All orders and payment for our 2016 Calendar (£4 each) should be in school by Friday 27th November.  We are still in need of a few sponsors.  If you would like to sponsor a page please contact the school office.
