A group of S3 boys have enjoyed a week at Firereach, run by Scottish Fire and Rescue. They really enjoyed the experience and learned a great deal about the importance of teamwork and perseverance.
The Achieve 4 group has been working in local Primaries and Nursery classes, providing games, activities and sports for the children during intervals and lunchtimes. Prior to putting their learning into practice, the group participated in a training programme, organised by our Active Schools coordinator. The younger children seem to have enjoyed working with our pupils – well done!
Our Information Evening for P6 and P7 parents will take place on Monday 9th November, at 7.00 p.m., in Kilsyth Academy. During the evening, there will be an opportunity to hear about various aspects of the transition process from Primary to Secondary school and our school captains look forward to sharing information about the wider life of the school. Thereafter, there will be an opportunity to tour the school and some staff and pupils will be available within departments, to showcase facilities and answer questions. Letters have been distributed via our associated Primary schools but the event is also open to any other families who are interested in attending.
The Parent Council meeting scheduled for Wednesday 4th November has been cancelled and the next meeting will therefore be on Thursday 3rd December, at 7.00 p.m.
