Parental Involvement and Engagement Census (PIE) – Secondary Schools
Parents and carers are by far the most important influence on children’s lives. Research shows that when parents are involved in their child’s learning, children do better at school and throughout their lives. Glasgow City Council would like to get an idea of how you feel about your child’s school and to give you a chance to reflect on the partnerships you are experiencing.

Glasgow City Council – Consultation
Glasgow City Council’s consultation to decide future entry requirements for our High School is underway. You have until Friday 24 May 2019 to make your voice heard.
Please add comments or recommendations alongside the option you select:
1) Status quo – keep the school as it is with the same catchment area
2) Status quo and extended catchment – increase the number of associated schools – allowing more girls direct access to the school
3) Change the school to a co-education offer – allowing boys, potentially as early as 2020.
Notre Dame High School Parent Council’s preferred option is number 2, with the added comment that St Ninian’s Primary should stay within the revised catchment.
That position is based on the fact that over 95% of our parents and carers have already expressed their clear wish for our school to remain all-girls. In a questionnaire distributed last year, you also told us that you would agree with extending the catchment area to allow more girls to access its inclusive and inspiring educational benefits.

Minutes of Glasgow Parents in Partnership Meeting held on 13.11.18
Among the items discussed at the meeting, item 4 is a uniform exchange programme. Please see details below:
Apparel Xchange
Apparel Xchange is a social enterprise which tries to kit children out in an affordable uniform by reusing and recycling uniforms. They receive used uniforms from schools lost property and from parents. They check, wash and sell these garments at a small cost. The enterprise is trying to make children aware of the supply chain, their massive duty to preserve the planet, learn how to wash their clothes, put labels on them and hopefully with this knowledge make better choices. The enterprise has a Pop-up shop in the southside of Glasgow. For your information, attached is a flyer about the forthcoming Pop-up shop sale days.
Apparel Xchange’s contact details are:
