Convoy to Calais

Please see message below from Councillor Waters –

The East Renfrewshire Convoy to Calais leaves this Thursday at 8pm from the car park of ER Council HQ in Eastwood Park, Giffnock. They are taking the largest single donation from anywhere in Scotland.  Schools and nurseries from all over East Renfrewshire responded with overwhelming generosity to the appeal.  All parents, children and staff are invited to be there for the send-off. The convoy organisers want to give the families who contributed the opportunity to see their donations leave, and to send the convoy off in style.

We hope you can join us

Parent Council Meeting – Wednesday 7 October 2015

Our first Parent Council meeting of the session is on Wednesday 7 October 2015 at 7.00pm in Woodfarm High School.  You will be aware from the newsletter that we are very keen to get some more parents to join.

As this is our first meeting of the session, we thought it would be nice to add a more social aspect to it.   We believe that this first meeting is a great opportunity for parents to get the chance to meet each other, the Parent Council and learn a bit more about the life of the school.

On Wednesday we will have tea, coffee and cakes available after the meeting and hope to meet many of you in a more informal setting.  Attending this first meeting will give you a flavour of the work that the Parent Council does and in no way means you are committing to attending every meeting.

We are looking forward to seeing you on Wednesday evening.
