Study Skills Evening
We will be hosting a Study Skills Evening on Monday, March 18th 2019!!
The workshop will begin at 6:00 pm and run for approximately 1 hour 30 minutes. The workshop will be active and we invite you to come along with your child so that you can learn together.
The aims of this workshop are to increase pupil and parental knowledge of study strategies and to build confidence in revising for exams. We will also discuss ways in which we can support pupils coping with exam stress and pressure. The workshop will take place in the assembly hall and teas and coffees will be provided.
You will receive a free study pack on departure to help further these skills at home.
We will also have Bright Red Books attending to sell some of their revision booklets.
 
*A letter furthering this information has been sent out to parents of S4, S5 and S6 pupils. Please confirm your attendance either by email or the return slip. This will help us organise catering and the free study packs.
You can confirm attendance by emailing mailto:gw15rotheryemma@glow.sch.uk
S1 Reading Challenge!!
We have entered Hillhead in the
First Minster’s Reading Challenge!
Our focus is on mental health
and well-being.
With our school Librarian, we have created a list of books which relate to mental health and to our school’s core values of kindness and resilience.
S1 pupils can read as many books from the list and will be rewarded
with various prizes!
^Check out our (book) SHELF CARE display!!!
After reading each book, pupils will then complete a mini reflection task. Then it’s off to see an English teacher to get your ‘book reward card’ stamped!
Lots of book-related events and prizes await! Happy reading!!!
