Parents

Mellow Initiative

Mellow Parenting

We are in the process of trying to develop a programme to help support parents with children with additional support needs and we
would welcome your views on some of our ideas.
We are Lindsey Macleod / Cockshott (clinical psychologist) and Rachel Tainsh (programme development officer with Mellow Parenting).
We both have children with additional support needs as well as a good bit of professional experience in this area.
We are keen to work with Isobel Mair School and Family Centre and other colleagues from East Renfrewshire Council to explore ways
of helping parents in the challenges they face in their relationships
with their children. If you would be willing to meet with us for a coffee
and a chat about this we would really appreciate some feedback on our provisional plans. It would be an informal get together and we would very much value your thoughts. If you are interested please come along to “Coffee and Chat” at Isobel Mair School on 3rd May  1:30- 2:30pm.

Careers Fair

We are  delighted to have along members of our local community to talk to our students about jobs and careers in different companies and services.

The students were very excited to be able to ask our visitors all sorts of questions about career choices that are available. They spoke to staff from  Waitrose, Vets at Home, Morgan Sindall,
Enable Scotland, Action on Hearing Loss and many others.

Miss Philo who organised the Careers Fair, would like to thank the careers advisors and the representatives from all of the companies who came today for donating their time for our secondary school children. We could not have done it without you!

Take a look at the photographs from the rich
learning experience that took place this morning.

IMS Family Recipe Book

Class Whalsay have decided to make an “IMS Family Recipe book” as their enterprise project this year!

We would like to encourage all pupils and staff to bring in a recipe for the book. The pupils in class Whalsay will organise the recipes into categories: Starters , Main Courses, Healthier options and Desserts.

 We are hoping to get some local sponsorship to enable us to get nice printed copies of the recipe books and will be looking to be selling copies sometime between Easter and the Summer holidays.

If you have a recipe that you would like to be added to our recipe book, please send a copy via email or school diaries before Friday 12th March.

Thanks You

Class Whalsay
