Well done to the following S1 pupils who took part in their first Bikeability Level 3 session on Friday 5 October.

• Reece Ness (1a7)

Level 3 equips trainees with skills for more challenging roads and traffic situations – busier streets, queuing traffic, complex junctions and roundabouts. It also includes planning routes for safe cycling. Level 3 training is delivered one-to-one or in groups of up to 3 so can be tailored to a trainee’s individual needs, such as a route to work or school. At Level 3 you can:

• prepare for a journey
• understand advanced road positioning
• pass queuing traffic
• perceive and deal with hazards
• understand driver blind spots
• react to hazardous road surfaces

As part of the European Schools Sports Day (ESSD) our S1 pupils represented various European countries in different sports (handball, football, hockey, basketball, dance). They competed in these sports to gain points for their class which will contribute to their ‘Class of the Year’ reward scheme points. The class who earn the most points will be rewarded with the opportunity to go on a trip to Blackpool Pleasure Beach.

The first Block Test for S1 pupils in Maths will take place on Monday 8 October.

As well as working through the revision booklet below, it is vitally important that pupils look at their notes jotter and remind themselves of the method used in class as setting down (showing) working is essential.

An Information Evening for the parents of First Year students will take place on the evening of Thursday 4 October, commencing at 7.00 p.m.  The purpose of this evening is to inform parents how our new S1 pupils have settled in to Saint Ninian’s High School and to provide an insight into the year ahead.   We will also focus on the standards and expectations that we have of our pupils and how we can work in partnership with you to achieve the very best for your son or daughter.

The evening will begin with an introduction from Mr Docherty (Head Teacher), followed by a presentation from Mr Fuchs (Depute Head Teacher) highlighting the excellent start our young people have made and focussing on calendar for the remainder of S1.

Pastoral Support staff will then present to class groups of parents and pupils in their pastoral cohort emphasising the personalised support your child will receive in our school and how we can support you to ensure:

• the fullest development of our young people
• excellence and equity in attainment across the school
• an opportunity to discuss specific support needs, where appropriate

Attendance at this event has always been excellent and Parental Evaluations indicate that parents have found this to be very informative and helpful in supporting their children through S1.
