SCIAF Fun Day

On Friday 18th March we held a fun day to raise money for SCIAF. This was a non uniform day and children were involved in lots of fun events. Our SCIAF total has been boosted by an amazing amount and is now in excess of £3000! Thank you so much to all our generous St Cadoc’s families.

Keep bringing in those “wee boxes” please. Our final total will be announced at the end of the week.

Thanks again!

 

Air Quality Around Schools

As part of our commitment to improving local air quality, East Renfrewshire Council now has powers to issue fixed penalty notices to drivers who don’t switch off their engines when stationary. Council officers will be carrying out patrols around local schools and speaking to drivers who let their vehicles idle unnecessarily.
 
Air quality within East Renfrewshire is generally good and meets national standards, however we are always keen to make further improvements. Within East Renfrewshire, road traffic is the main source of air pollutants. Parents and others taking children to and from school can help to reduce children’s exposure to exhaust fumes by leaving the car at home, by parking further away from the school and by turning off their engines when stationary.
