Parent Council Pupil Trust Fund

GHS – Parent Council Pupil Trust Fund

Each year the Parent Council raises funds for Greenfaulds High School in order to purchase resources and equipment for the benefit of all pupils, agreed by the Senior Management Team.

However, the Parent Council is aware that many of our pupils are involved in a great variety of “extra curricular activities” out with the school.  We would like to celebrate these successes and hard work and have therefore agreed to “ring fence” £200 each year.  If you are involved in a sport, music, drama, charitable organisation or youth organisation and are seeking some funding assistance, all pupils are eligible to apply for this fund.

How to apply – firstly, please acknowledge your interest by emailing the Parent Council at ghsparentcouncil@hotmail.com

You may be invited to attend our November meeting to give a short presentation, where you should consider how your application will benefit you, the school and our community.  The Parent Council will then vote on which candidate(s) have been successful to receive a proportion of the fund and you will be advised by mid-December.

The availability of funds for this purpose will be reviewed annually by the GHS Parent Council.

Good luck!

School Photographs

School photographs are scheduled for Friday the 31st of August this year as per recent communications.  As in previous years, S1, S5 & S6 will have the opportunity to be photographed as individuals and class groups, in addition all S6 pupils will be involved in a full year group photograph.

There will be an opportunity for parents of new S1 pupils to request a family photograph with their siblings. Normally this would have been done using a request form but due to technical issues in the school this week we would ask that pupils approach Mr Harris on the day of the photographs to make this request.

The company providing the service this year is ColorFoto, they provide a fully integrated online system to order the photographs. The school would ask that parents order the photographs online, pupils are issued with these details on the day of the photo shoot. If this is not possible please contact the school office.

There is no obligation to buy but we do require all pupils to be photographed for school records. Pupils are expected to be in full school uniform for photographs and we would appreciate your continued support in this matter. Thanks

Drop off/Pick up of Pupils

Can we please ask all parents and carers use the allocated drop off points within the school, this also includes a drop off area which can be accessed from Athlestane Drive.

Thank you for your cooperation as it helps improve access and exit from the school whilst reducing local congestion for residents particularly in the Scott Drive area.
