Hello everyone
Netherlee Staff News
Next Friday (23rd June), as well as saying farewell to our wonderful P7 children, we will also say goodbye to some of our wonderful staff members here at Netherlee. We wave farewell to two of our amazing Child Development Officers from our nursery, the amazing Mrs Debbie Heron and Mrs Jo-Anne Welsh, as they move on to other nursery classes. Your creativity, dedication and sense of fun will be so greatly missed by us all in Netherlee. Next, we say a big congratulations to Mrs Alison Di Paola and Mrs Vanda Carlin in their retirement- you have both been fantastic, invaluable support assistants- helping, caring for and supporting many children over the years. You have most certainly earned your right to a long, healthy and happy retirement. We also want to say good luck to three of our teachers Mrs Julie McCahon, Mrs Catherine Williamson and Miss Rosalind Burns as they continue their careers in teaching, any school will be very lucky to have you.
A massive “thank you” to each of you, thank you for being part of our Netherlee team and for the kindness you have shown to the children in your care. We will miss you all very much and wish you all the very best.
We are also delighted to welcome in August, a new Principal Teacher to Netherlee, Mrs Jackie Toman. We are certain that Jackie will be a real asset to the Netherlee Community. Jackie is looking forward to getting to know all of our wonderful Netherlee children and families after the summer holiday.
And finally, …. here comes the bride….. the very lovely Miss Catherine McMillan, currently one of our P2 teachers, is getting married over the Summer and she will return as Mrs Anderson. You will be a beautiful bride Catherine, enjoy every moment of your special day. We can’t wait to see the photos when we return in August.
P.E. Code of Practice / Health and Safety Guidance
With the summer holiday approaching we thought it would be a good time to remind you of East Renfrewshire Council’s P.E. Code of Practice / Health and Safety Guidance, particularly in relation to piercings.
As children require to remove all piercings to participate in P.E. lessons, we would like to gently suggest that the start of the summer holiday would be a good time for them to get any new piercings. This will mean that they can then participate in all PE lessons and activities once school restarts in August.
Medicines
All medicine held in school require to be collected before the end of term, as set out in the Administration of Medicines Guidance for Educational Establishments. Medicines should be collected from the office please or alternative arrangements made by email. When the medicines return after the holidays, a new Administration of Medicine form should be completed and medicines should be in date. A copy of our medicine form can be found here: Administration of Medicine Form
