Christmas Card Recycling

We are participating in a Christmas Card recycling Competition with the opportunity to win £250 for the school.

Now that the Christmas tree and decorations are all down, you can help Isobel Mair School by sending in all  the old Christmas cards and help us support the environment by recycling your old cards.

Thank you for your continued  support.

 

Welcome Back

Happy New Year  to all our pupils, families, friends and colleagues, we hope you had a lovely time over the festive break.

It was lovely to see all the pupils back in school this morning, eager to share their news and ready for an exciting term of learning and having fun.

We will update you with important dates for the diary.

Thank you for all your support over the last year.

A huge shout out to Mrs Laurie and all the staff from Loch Ness Wing who have worked non stop preparing for this event, from rehearsing to making scenery to making costumes.

It was great to see all the pupils involved and so proud of their achievements and participation.

Pamis Event

Click here to view Pamis Flyer

PAMIS will be holding an SDS event on the 17th January at the Adelphi Centre in Glasgow, which will run from 10:00 am until 4:00 pm.  (Additional information can be found on the attached event flyer.)  This event will involve two sessions:

MORNING SESSION
The morning session will be looking at some of the specific topics under SDS that family carers, caring for a person with profound and multiple learning disabilities (PMLD) and complex healthcare needs, want or feel they need to know more about.  This session will be primarily for family carers.

 

AFTERNOON SESSION
The afternoon session will be attended by a number of members of the PAMIS team who will be available with information on the different pieces of work PAMIS carries out.  This will include:

·         The overall work of PAMIS and how our projects, research, partnership working and training offered, link in with the Family Support Service Director’s work

·         Importantly, the many ways in which we support people with profound and multiple learning disabilities (PMLD) and their family carers

We are inviting professionals from all sectors involved in supporting people with PMLD and hope that you, or someone representing your service, will be able to attend to hear what we do, and how we can work in partnership with others across Glasgow & Clyde and Scotland.

Ideally, we hope to have a mix of people who care for and support people with PMLD and who also wish to network with others and share information about their service with family carers, professionals and other relevant organisations.

Afternoon attendees can:
·         set up an information stand and meet the PAMIS team

·         attend in a drop-in basis as able

Further information can be found on the attached flyer.  Please book as requested on the flyer so that we are able to order beverages as required.  Available space means that stands will be limited so, if you wish to book a space for displaying your work, please contact me as soon as possible.  All stand holders will be asked to set up between 9:00 am and 10:00 am on the day and return to the open afternoon session at 1:30 pm.

Information gathered at this event will help inform our work over the next ten years and assist in our decisions, as we consider how PAMIS continues to best support people with profound and multiple learning disabilities, and their family carers, in the future.

We look forward to hearing from you
Best wishes
Liz Platt
PAMIS Family Support Service Director
