JOHN MUIR AWARD
A number of classes within Greenfaulds High School are currently working towards their John Muir Award, a nationally recognised qualification which includes learning about and conserving wild places. We have been working with Cumbernauld Living Landscaped in Ravenswood Nature reserve for the past year and Sanctuary Housing granted us £500 worth of tools to support us with conservation. We are currently looking for donations of wellington boots and jackets which will allow even more pupils to access Ravenswood Nature Reserve. If you have any could you please bring these to the school.
S3 MONITORING REPORTS
Could all parents of S3 pupils please note that the monitoring reports for this year-group were issued recently. The report is a short summary of how your child is performing in each of their subject areas. Would you please sign and return the tear off slip at the bottom of the report to confirm you have seen it.
BURNS SUPPER
Greenfaulds High School will be hosting the annual Burns Supper on Friday 27th January 2017 at 7.00pm in.

S2 PERSONALISATION AND CHOICE
Greenfaulds High School would like to invite parents of S2 pupils to a meeting with the school’s Senior Management team on Thursday 2nd February at 7.00pm. The aim of the evening is to inform parents and pupils of the choices that are open to them as pupils progress with their Curriculum for Excellence courses.
CAREERS CONVENTION-DROP IN EVENT
Wednesday 22nd February 6.00pm – 9.00pm
We are holding our biennial Careers Convention this year. Present will be over 35 representatives from Employers, Apprenticeship Providers, Training Agencies, Colleges, Universities as well as Skills Development Scotland and representatives from the Armed Forces.
This is a “drop in” event with no formal structure. It allows you to find out what opportunities there are after school along with possible entry conditions. It will also allow you to compare one institution with another. This type of information proves very valuable when it comes to making Course Choices, which is something that you and your child will have to do before there will be another Careers Convention held within the school.
You are warmly invited to attend what parents and pupils have told us on previous occasions to be a very interesting and valuable evening.
MID TERM BREAK
Greenfaulds will be closed on Monday 13th February and Tuesday 14th February for the mid term holiday and Wednesday 15th February for a school in-service day. Greenfaulds re-opens to pupils on Thursday 16th February as normal.
