Headteacher’s Welcome for 2019

We hope you enjoyed the summer holidays. We have had a very busy and positive start to our new school session and we look forward to yet another successful session at Chryston High School.

We have many new and exciting projects happening throughout the year but 2 of our main updates that we would like to give you more information on are the launch of The Parent’s Portal and the CHS Supporters 500 Club.  The link below is a letter giving a brief summary of both of these but further info on how to sign up can be found in The Parent’s Portal Menu at the top of the page.

2019 Welcome Letter

We would like to thank all our school community for their continued support and hope that session 2019-20 brings all our young people and their families lots of joy and success.

CHS Supporters 500 Club

We would like to take this opportunity to introduce to you our fantastic new 500 Club.

Our new club will be run by Chryston High School Supporters (CHSS), a new and exciting fund raising and community building branch of our parent forum in partnership with our Parent Council.

The aim of our club is to raise some funds for our school on a monthly basis whilst giving you the chance to have a flutter and win a cash prize.

When you join we will allocate you a number which costs £2 per month. You can have up to five numbers per household. So £4 a month for two numbers and so on.

For a full explanation of the rules and how to sign up please click on the links  below:

Food and Textile Technology Plastic Reduction – Guidelines for next session

The Food and Textile Technology Department (formally known as Home Economics) are aiming to cut down the use of plastic and foil containers within the kitchen as part of a drive to become more eco-friendly. To help combat this, the pupils are asked to bring in a plastic Tupperware container to carry their food dishes home. The most suitable container would be one with tight locks around the sides of the lid to ensure there are no spillages (picture below). We also ask that the pupils name and class is labelled clearly on the container.

If the pupil comes to class with no container then they may not be able to prepare food within the lesson.

If you are not able to supply a suitable container then let us know and we can source one for your child to keep.

We thank you for your support in this, and if you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.
