IMPORTANT message from the British Transport Police

As lockdown eases and the school holidays approach, we’re expecting trespassing to increase. 

If children and young people are drunk at a railway station or near the tracks, they’re heightening the risk that they will end up unintentionally getting injured on the railway. For this reason, we are urging parents to check in with their children as the summer holiday approach.

Do your teens know the devastating consequences of stepping on the tracks? Make sure your teens know that trespassing can have life-changing consequences by showing them the film at https://www.youvstrain.co.uk/

Stepping onto the track at any time or in any circumstance is dangerous. 25,000 volts of electricity can jump from overhead cables, the electrified third rail looks just like an ordinary rail, and modern trains can almost silently reach speeds of 125mph.  

Many thanks to Police Scotland and the Scottish Fire & Rescue Service for taking the time to speak to our S2 pupils about anti-social behaviour in relation to fire and water safety.

The football programme transition visit will take place on Tuesday the 15^th of June, between 1.45pm to 3.30pm, registration will take place from 1.35pm.  You may already have received a letter detailing the visit, if not it is winging its way to you.

All football programme pupils will have the opportunity to take part in an induction session.

Pupils will require:

• Football boots/trainers
• Football kit
• Shin guards
• Water

Please accompany your child to the front gates of the school where they will be escorted into the building by guides. I would also ask that parents/carers do not stand on the pavement behind the pitch or on the grass embankment at the side of the pitch.

We are looking forward to meeting youP7!
