Our brand new FAQ section of the school website can be viewed by clicking here.
It provides all the answers asked by parents/carers and children in relation to the big move to high school!
In the Primary 7 Google Classroom today they will find a form asking if they have any questions whatsoever about heading up to high school. On the form there is also a section for parents/carers to ask any questions.
This is a great chance to find out anything that may be on your mind. The forms will be sent back to LHS next Friday, so if you could make sure your child ‘hands in’ the form on Google Classroom before 10am next Friday (5th February) it would be appreciated.
You can also visit the high school transition page by clicking this link.
The new High School Transition booklet for this year’s Primary 7 class can now be viewed in the transition section of the website or by clicking this link.
High School pupils have very kindly taken the time to write some really nice letters to Primary 7 pupils who will be making the transition to High School soon. The letters talk about fears those children may have had, and how those fears were quickly removed when they got to High School.
Moving on to High School will always be a nervous and daunting prospect for children, but reading these letters may help them in their journey and know that they are not alone in their fears!
These letters be found in the new ‘Latest from Lesmahagow High’ section within the ‘Primary 7 to High School’ section of transition, or simply click here to read the letters.
