P7 Parents Evening 10 June 2021

Asymptomatic Testing Programme (Lateral Flow Tests)

Our school is participating in the Schools Asymptomatic Testing Programme which is part of the package of COVID-19 risk reduction mitigations in schools across Scotland. We have had a high uptake of this offer from S4 – S6 who have been in school over the past month and once we return after the break S1-S3 pupils can also take part. Letters were sent home last week to pupils and lateral flow test kits have been issued this week to those who returned consent forms so that pupils can test themselves before returning to school.

A copy of the letter and consent form for S1-S3 pupils with links to other information can also be found here:

You will see a number of examples on our school Twitter account @HillheadHS  of how mental health is being covered in our curriculum.

All of the senior leadership team have been sharing information and tips on wellbeing at virtual assemblies on Friday afternoons and also at our two online parent information sessions over the past week. Wellbeing Drop-In Sessions continue this week for pupils – all information is on year group Teams pages. Please contact Miss McGuire or Miss Black for more information. Our school counsellors  also continue to work with pupils via phone calls at present. Please get in touch with Pastoral Care if this is something you wish to know more about.
