Primary 7 Open Evening

November 15, 2016 Mr Harris

An Open Evening for pupils currently in P7 (and their families) will be held in Greenfaulds High School at 7.00pm on the evening of Thursday 17^th November.

This is an informal event and there is no need to inform the school in advance that you are coming. Pupils and their parents will “follow a timetable” which will allow you to see around the school and meet teachers and pupils. You will find out about the curriculum and about the many other activities on offer to pupils.

Car parking will be available but the school is likely to be very busy on the evening so you are advised to come early.

I look forward to seeing you on the 17^th November but please do not hesitate to contact me in advance if you have specific queries or requirements.
