PUPIL BULLETIN 22nd September 2017

1.	Note from Mrs Hollywood
  	Well done everyone on a very successful start to session 17/18. As we  	approach September weekend I’m sure we will all welcome a well deserved 	rest and time with family and friends.
	I would like to take this opportunity to thank the vast majority of pupils who are 	working hard and behaving in classes, also being very positive role models in  	our community.  However, it has been brought to my attention that a small 	number of pupils are not displaying our school values in some classes or 	when they are out and about in the local area.  Disruptive behaviour in class 	will not be tolerated and heads of house are working with pupils across the 	year to reinforce our expectations about respect and responsibility. Similarly, 	anti-social behaviour at the back path and graffiti / vandalism in the streets of 	Johnstone will also not be tolerated.  We are working with the community 	police and the anti-social behaviour team to ensure our local area is a safe 	and welcoming place for everyone.
	Finally, a note of congratulations to our new S5 Heads of House who were 	appointed after a rigorous interview process:-
			Head of House		Depute(s)
	Mull		Cate Bone			Nicola Caulfield
	Arran		Emma Russell		Iona Cleer
	Iona		Katie Guthrie			Alexander Tavendale
	Skye		Zoe Tait			Connor Wilson, Julie Keith		

2.	Ardentinny

	On the Tuesday we leave, pupils should go straight to the assembly hall.  
	Remember when we return you will need to be collected from school at 2pm; 	you will not go back to class.  Pupils must complete any missed work when 	they return.
