Parent Council Minutes 14th September 2015

Discover what happened in the last Parent Council meeting where a range of topics were discussed.

Mr Munro (DHT – Senior Phase) discussed the recent exam results and the head teacher, Mr Dewar, presented his head teacher report together with the school improvement plan, outlining areas of development. The constitution of the Parent Council was mentioned and it was emphasised that any parent or guardian of a pupil  attending the school, could go along to Parent Council meetings , not just members of the Parent Council. Possible steps highlighting the very positive aspects of the school were discussed as well as progress in the developing school website.

What’s it all about then?

The PTA has a valuable role is helping manage and shape the future of Johnstone High School. Staff at the school have long realised that they don’t work in isolation and can’t do it all. They need to complete the circle and involve the opinions, ideas and thoughts of the children, parents and guardians of those that attend the school.

The pupils have their own council and leadership teams.  These have made many constructive contributions. The role that they’ve played in the past can be accessed at http://www.johnstonehigh.co.uk/pupilStuff/pupilIndex.html.  More will be added as the new council’s get underway.

The PTA is the final link in the chain and this blog exists to inform everyone what Johnstone High School gets up to.  Here you will find dates of PTA meetings, minutes and topics that parents or guardians wish to be discussed.  Currently the membership of the PTA is settled, but its constantly changing and an announcement will made shortly describing what to do if you are interested in making a contribution to the work of the council.

Hello Parent Council

Welcome all!  Yep!  We’ve finally got around to it. We’ve created a section for Johnstone High School’s very own Parent’s Council.  We know it’s taken some time and much longer than we would have liked.  But its done now and we want to express our  thanks for your patience, support and encouragement while we’ve been building our new web site.

So let’s sit back and enjoy the ride.
