(TES, 10 October 2003)
Many parents feel at a loss when their children enter S1 and above and confused by the complicated systems of SQA exams, coursework and practical assessments.
If you feel like this you are not alone! The exam system has changed greatly over the years, and is continuing to change, and sometimes it feels as if it is best just to let the ‘experts’ at Calderhead High School get on with it. However, your involvement during these crucial years can make an enormous difference – the difference between success and failure or between ‘C’ and ‘D’ passes and ‘A’s and ‘B’s.

Pupils, parents and carers are invited to come along to the Calderhead High School Course Choice Information Evening on Thursday, 18th February 2016.

Pupil Support staff will be on hand to answer and advise both pupils and parents. Tea and Coffee will be supplied and the event starts at 6 pm.
S4 and S5 will have a meeting with Mr Graham (6 pm) and then afterwards the opportunity to speak with Pupil Support staff.
