Coltness High Supporting MADE4U Community Response

We find ourselves in the 21st Century with members of our community having to access foodbanks in order to survive. Add to this the global pandemic which is making life for the most vulnerable even more of a tough ask. As a school we have a long history of partnership with MADE4U and commend their efforts at this time to support the most vulnerable in our community. I would ask you as a member of the school community to offer support by making a donation. John McGilp, Head Teacher Coltness You can make a donation by clicking on the image at the top of the page or by clicking on this link. https://cafdonate.cafonline.org/12957

Italy Trip – Update

Further to the previous letter which stated that no deposit had been paid to NST prior to lockdown which means we have not lost any portion of the money that you have deposited. Given the uncertainty of the current coronavirus situation we took the decision to cancel the Italy 2021 trip. Given the current status of the school being closed and social distancing measures in place the likelihood is that any monies due to you would not be returned to you until August at the earliest. KIndest regards Mr McInally Teacher of Geography

S3 Duke of Edinburgh’s Award registration

We have created a group on Microsoft Teams for the pupils in S3 who are taking part in the DofE.  Pupils can access this through Glow.  There is a registration form which pupils should complete and return by Friday 8th May.  Because we’re working from home, we’re not sure we can remember everyone in the group.  If we’ve missed you out, sorry about that!  Let us know and we’ll add you in.

Alton Towers 2020 Update

Alton Towers Update Dear Parent/Carer Due to government advice the Alton Towers trip scheduled for 4th May 2020 is now cancelled. Payment has neither been made to a coach company or Alton Towers so no money has been lost in relation to this. It is our intention to cancel the trip completely and you will receive a complete refund. Any monies to be repaid will only be done when the school starts back after the current lockdown. The school are looking at running some movie nights/days in Autumn free of charge to reward our young people for their endeavours over the course of this academic year. We realise that this is nowhere near as exciting as trip to a theme park but given

London Trip 2020 Update

Dear Parent/Carer It will come as no surprise to find that the London Trip organised by the Maths Department on 11th to 15th May 2020 cannot go ahead. This is due to current government advice. However in the interest of the safety of our young people it would have been a decision we would have taken ourselves anyway! We have made the decision not to cancel this in totality but to postpone it to June 2021*, with the dates of this yet to be finalised. It will however be in or around the last week of term. These dates will allow those currently in S3 to attend the trip as May 2021 would see a clash with the SQA exams. Our decision to
