Vision, Aims and Values Review

Vision, Aims and Values Review

From August 2016 onwards we undertook a review of the school’s Aims, Vision and Values that were implemented when the new school building was opened in 2012. Pupils were involved through PSHE. Staff were involved through an Inservice Day event, Departmental Meetings and a Whole Staff Meeting. Parents were consulted through Parents’ Nights, the Parent Council and the PTA. All the information was collated and the following Aims, Vision and Values were produced. Aims, Vision & Values Feb 2017

William & Pippa Visit Coltness High School

William and Pippa together with their Guide Dog Puppy Walkers Ann, Margaret and Claire visited to collect a cheque for £370.00. The money was raised by holding a Christmas fundraiser stall in the library. William, the larger dog, also received a beautiful blanket that had been crocheted by Mrs Creelman, one of our technicians. The staff knitting group have been knitting Guide Dog blankets for the Chatelherault Puppy Walkers Cohort for over a year and have gifted many blankets in that time. Pippa received her blanket as a tiny puppy. Fundraising has now reached £2,124.40. Thank you to staff and pupils of the school who have supported this charity since 2012.
