Sustainable Future
Hello,
My name is Melissa Dunn and I work with the Education Department to support and develop Health and Wellbeing (HWB) and Learning for Sustainability (LfS). I attended St Joseph’s Primary and then went on to work here as a class teacher for several years. I also worked at St Mary’s in Bathgate before moving to work at Southdale Primary in Armadale when it opened in 2016.
To find out what is important to communities, especially around travel, transport and facilities in your local area I plan to work with all feeder primaries to St Kentigern’s Academy. In finding out what matters to you and your community I intend to put forward a grant proposal to the Scottish Government to see if we can help deliver some of the action points that come from our meetings.
Attached is a poster that details of this project. If you are interested in being part of this working group please contact your school office as they have further information including times and dates.
I look forward to meeting and working with you soon.
Best Wishes
Melissa
