Parent Councils Essentials event at Calderwood Lodge on Thursday 9 June 2016

Parent Councils Essentials is fun, fast and interactive. It is a whistle-stop tour of Parent Councils – how they work, what they can get involved in and what they can’t. This session will give you lots of ideas for things you can do and help you work out the best ways to be an effective Parent Council. You’ll go away with food for thought, good contacts and ideas too.     Parent Council Essentials is one of a range of information & training sessions SPTC offers free. They have been carefully planned to provide parents with the kind of information they ask SPTC for. All SPTC sessions are run by our team of friendly and knowledgeable regional advisors, who have experience of working with parents, schools and local authorities. All parents are welcome to attend the sessions which are run in an informal, parent-friendly way with plenty of opportunities for discussion and questions. They are a great chance to learn more about how to run your group effectively and also to meet other parents and swap ideas.   Parent Council Essentials is suitable for both new and more experienced Parent Council members. The session will give you lots of ideas for running an effective Parent Council: along the way SPTC will answer some of your questions and might even bust a few of the myths surrounding parental involvement.   Here  are the links to the event on the SPTC and the event registration page which should contain most of the information you need:   http://www.sptc.info/event/parent-council-essentials-calderwood-lodge/   https://www.eventbrite.com/e/parent-council-essentials-calderwood-lodge-primary-school-g43-2ru-tickets-24591666336   If you have any other questions please feel free to contact us again by phone or email.
