There is a proposal to set up a section of Law and District AAC in Shotts, based in Calderhead High School. There will be a parents/supports meeting in Calderhead High School at 6:30pm on Wednesday 28th September. We ask that if anyone who thinks they can offer support to come along.
Also if you think your child may be interested in taking part then please come along so that we can judge the likely success of this initiative. We think that this is a great opportunity to work with a very successful and nurturing club as part of our expanding sports hub.

Every year the school runs a UCAS class which assists our S6 students in applying to University. While the students are given time during the school day we encourage them to complete the application in their own time and for parents to be involved in this process.
A brief information session for parents and carers will be held in the school on Monday, 5th September 2016 at 6pm to go through the process and to allow you to discuss concerns or issues you may have.
