Parents’ Invite

Getting it Right for Every Child

Following a successful INSET day programme focusing on GIRFEC we would like to invite all parents/carers to an evening event at the school.

As only a few parents could attend the day time event we hope that the evening event will be more convenient.

There will be workshops focusing on:-

  • Out of school activities
  • Post School Transition planning   
  • Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC)

 

Monday 17th March 2014
