Extra-Curricular Clubs
Over the last couple of weeks, a few parents have indicated to us that they would like the school to offer more extra curricular activities at lunch time and after school. In particular there has been an expression of interest in a girl’s football club. We are always keen to provide as many opportunities as possible but we are reliant on volunteers to do so. I have contacted Madison at active schools and she is happy to support us in a recruitment drive. If you, or anyone you know, is interested in coaching a sports or activities club at our school, please click here to complete a form. More information is provided in the form. While there seems to be a particular interest in girl’s football we are also interested in hearing from someone keen to offer mixed of boy’s football and in hearing from someone keen to offer other sports and activities for younger children. Feel free to share the link – Active Schools carry out PVG checks and offer support to all their volunteers.

Tesco Stronger Starts
Just a reminder that voting for Balmerino Parent Council’s project to set up a school library is currently open in Dundee Tesco Stores – closing at the end of June. If you are in store, and don’t have a link to either of the other projects, I would love it if you could support my other school.
