Over the next few weeks, our local authority is planning to ask all pupils in P5 to S6 to take part in a survey about their health and wellbeing. The findings will help our local authority to understand the needs, strengths and possible concerns of children and young people, which will help plan future improvements to local services. Parents have already received a letter that will have provided them with more detailed information about the Census, and provided them with the opportunity to let us know if you don’t wish your child to take part.

Renfrewshire’s free rewards campaign
If you live or work in Renfrewshire and would like to earn rewards and support local businesses and charities, you are invited to sign up to Renfrewshire Council’s exciting new Not Far? Leave the Car campaign, which is now live and runs until the end of December.
The campaign rewards you, through the free to use BetterPoints app, for engaging in a more active and sustainable lifestyle by choosing to walk, run, wheel, cycle and take public transport more often. Participants earn points for their activities, which they can then use to support local businesses by exchanging points earned for exclusive discounts and offers from retailers within the app. There will also be a host of other rewards and prizes on offer and participants can also choose to donate their rewards to local charities.
Taking part in the challenge is easy:
- Download the free BetterPoints app from the App Store or Google Play.
- Register your details, join the ‘Not Far? Leave the Car’ programme and use the BetterPoints app to track your active journeys.
- Reward points are automatically credited to your account for eligible journeys.
The BetterPoints app has helped thousands of people across the UK and Europe to adopt greener and healthier habits.

Covid Update
Covid Update
The rules on self-isolation for household contacts have changed.
If you’re identified as a household contact of a positive COVID-19 case, you are advised to self-isolate for 10 days – irrespective of vaccination status, PCR test result and age.
What should I do if my child has COVID 19 symptoms?
It is extremely important that you continue to look out for symptoms of the virus amongst your own family. The most common symptoms are:
- new, continuous cough
- fever/high temperature (37.8C or greater)
- loss of, or change in, sense of smell or taste
If your child has symptoms, they should not attend school and you should book them a test immediately. They should remain at home and everyone in the household should self-isolate until they receive their test results. If the test is negative, everyone can stop isolating (and return to school).
More information can be found on the parentclub website by clicking HERE .
If you do not have symptoms, you can order rapid lateral flow tests for regular testing at home.
The Scottish Government are encouraging everyone to take regular tests, particularly if you’re socialising or mixing with other households.

Scottish Government Free Bus Travel for Under 22s – Survey
online1.snapsurveys.com/under22travelsurvey
The closing date for all responses is 24th January 2022.
About the Survey
Do you have a child aged 5-16, or are you a young person aged 12-21? If so, please complete our short travel survey for a chance to win up to £250 in Love2Shop vouchers.
The Scottish Government will soon be launching the Free Bus Travel Scheme for young people between the ages of 5 and 21. This aims to encourage greener travel patterns, and increase opportunities for young people to engage in employment, education and social activities and not be excluded due to travel costs. Transport Scotland will monitor the scheme as it progresses to check on use and impact. The first step is to try and understand current travel patterns so that any changes after the scheme is introduced can be identified.
We would be grateful if parents/carers of younger children (i.e. those aged 5-16), or young people aged 12-21 themselves, could complete this short travel survey. The questionnaire asks about current travel behaviour, and your thoughts about bus travel generally and the free bus travel. This should take no more than 10 minutes to do.
