Following the approval of the Council’s 2016/17 Budget Savings, transactions charges for payments by credit card will now be passed direct to the customer/service user. If a parent/carer chooses to pay by credit card the transaction charges will be applied at the ‘checkout’ stage of the online transaction. For example, a parent making a credit card payment of £10 towards a school trip would be required to pay a total of £10.16. The approved 2016/17 Budget Savings applied only to credit card transactions. As a result, the Council cannot pass transaction charges for payments by debit card onto parents/carers.

Guide dog puppies Krista , Carmel and Delias visited the school yesterday to collect hand knitted blankets that had been knitted specially by staff and pupils for them and other Guide Dog puppies. Thirteen blankets have been gifted so far and we are still knitting! We are hoping that the pups will keep their blankets throughout their puppy years, their formal training and into their retirement. Guide dog puppy walkers Anne, Leslie and John were also presented with a cheque for £25 and a Guide Dog collection tin with a further £20. Each year 3rd year ASDAN pupils have been fundraising for Guide Dogs for 4 years as part of their Charities Challenge. Written by Mrs Leckie.
