Calderwood Companions Plea

Mrs Bates and a Parent Council Group are looking at how community volunteers could support our clans. Examples might include, supporting excursions, art activities, running a lunchtime interest club, supporting a clan in the STEM Studio with cooking, P.E outdoors or outdoor learning, etc.

 

We now have some clans who are interested in trialling this.

 

If you, a family member or community would be interested in supporting us, please contact the school office for a PVG form, these applications are currently free and last three years.

 

More information will come soon!

Volunteers required – Home-Start West Lothian

Home-Start are looking to recruit some new volunteers to support families in West Lothian
Home-Start is a charity which provides support to families with at least one child under five.
Volunteers would be matched with one family at a time, for a period of around 9 – 12 months. We are looking for volunteers who have a spare couple of hours a week. This could be a member of staff, a student, a parent, carer or Grandparent or just anyone who has a bit of spare to time and wants to help. The volunteer does not have to be a parent themselves and some of our families are just looking for someone to talk to or someone to give them company. Click on the link to find out a bit more about Home-Start and register your interest with us – https://www.home-start.org.uk/find-out-more-about-volunteering-for-home-start We are also looking for volunteers to help at family group sessions to interact with
Each volunteer will be required to complete a training course to enable them to support a family effectively. The short training course will be partly through elearning at their own pace and also through 4 face-to-face sessions (two and a half hour sessions). All expenses for volunteering will be provided. Please contact lisac@homestartwl.org.uk if you would like more information
Kind Regards

Lego Plea

Dear parents/carers,

As part of our School Improvement Plan, the Health and Wellbeing champs have been looking at creating clan Health and Wellbeing boxes.  We are issuing a plea for donations of unwanted Lego that we will put in to these boxes.  If you have any Lego at home that does not get used, even kits with missing pieces, we would be so grateful if you would hand this in to the office by Wednesday 20th March.

Thank you so much.
