A message from the Head Teacher – 24 June 2020

Dear Parent/Carer,

Following yesterday’s statement from the Deputy First Minister, and the communication from the Director issued earlier today:

At present we are still working on the basis that staff will return on the 10th and 11th August for 2 in-service days and pupils will return after this dependant on what timetable we can run. We will know what timetable to run nearer this date. I will update you as soon as information becomes available. Thank you all for all the support you have provided to our school all year but in particular during last three months in the most difficult of times your understanding and co-operation has been invaluable.

To all our pupils:

We have really missed having you in school and are looking forward to seeing you in August. Please now switch off from school work and try to enjoy the summer break.

I hope that you and your loved ones stay safe and healthy.

Love, Teach, Care

 

Mr McGuigan

Parents or Carers of new S5 pupils who wish to be involved in the planning of bereavement support for S5 are invited to join us on Thursday 18th June at 10am in the school concert hall.

Our purpose will be to identify how best to support our S5 group over the summer holidays and in the longer term.  If you would like to contribute please come along and share in the planning and discussion. We will be advised by volunteers from the Samaritans Step by Step team as well as workers from Action for Children and the Police. Our school counsellors will also be on hand to offer guidance.
