We know how challenging it is just now for parents juggling home schooling, work and just day to day family life. In this current climate it is so important that you can take time to look after your own physical and mental health.

Glasgow Psychological Service have put together a webinar for GCPG to look at ways to nurture your own wellbeing as parents and carers, with practical strategies to take away.
In addition there will be some top tips to help with home schooling.
We do hope you can join us. Register here: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/139078281885

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The role involves mainly email/whatsapp communication with monthly meetings via Zoom. As a member, you are required to help promote/get involved in events, surveys and messaging from GCPG.
If you are interested in becoming a volunteer group member with us, you will be required to discuss with your parent council as you will need their support and nomination.
We would welcome more representation from secondary school parent council members, however recruitment is open to primary school members also.
To find out the full process or if you have any questions, please email us on GCParentsGroup@gmail.com

 

 

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.
