child sexual exploitation (CSE) awareness campaign (11-17)

The Scottish Government are currently running a campaign to raise awareness of child sexual exploitation (CSE).

The campaign aims to raise awareness among those aged 11 to 17 and their parents/carers of what constitutes CSE and where they can go for advice and support if they have concerns.

It is part of a coordinated response from the Scottish Government, Police Scotland and Child Protection Committees Scotland to respond to increasing reports of online child sexual abuse and exploitation, as was highlighted by Police Scotland recently.

Below you can access a lesson which will be delivered to our young people via their PSE Teams this week. This is a lesson you may also wish to watch as the key messages apply to parents and carers as well as young people themselves.

Please see our Twitter feed for a hard hitting video clip to accompany the campaign.

House competition

You may have noticed a few signs that spring is on its way. The days are getting a little longer, you may even have noticed spring flowers starting to poke through in the garden or in the park. These are promising signs of the end of what has surely been a long and difficult winter!

Let’s see if you can capture some of these signs of spring in a photograph!

We will run a House competition from now until Sunday 14 March during which we would like you to pay attention when you are out for your much needed daily walk. Look around you for an image that could capture ‘Spring‘ and upload your picture to the One Drive folder below:

upload here

Please save your images with the file name: First Name_Surname_Year Group (for example Sam_Smith_S1)

At the closing date your House Captains will collect images taken by members of their house to create an i-movie so that Mr. Clark can judge the best collective House effort, as well as judging the top 3 individual photos.

There will be House Points up for grabs for the top 3 individual photographs and also for the best collective House i-movie.

Good Luck!
