Developing the Young Workforce Week – Call for Support!

At Pumpherston and Uphall Station Community Primary School, we are beginning to organise our Developing the Young Workforce Week on 22nd – 25th May 2018. Last year we had great support from our school community. This year again we are asking if any parents, carers or members of our community can support this valuable learning opportunity for our children, as we really need your support for this week to a success. If you can offer some of your time to come into school or make a video about your job or interest can you please fill out the form below.

 

Anti Bullying Workshops for Parents/ Carers

Dear Parent/Carers

In conjunction with respectme, Scotland’s anti-bullying service parents and carers are invited to attend two forthcoming  workshops being held across regional venues.

Online safety:  This interactive and hands on workshop lasting two hours will explore a range of important issues related to navigating the ever changing online world safely. The event will focus on:

  • How young people use technology- the risks/challenges
  • Popular social media apps- the pros and cons
  • Practical advice on parental controls, privacy and safety settings  with an opportunity to explore your own social media settings
  • Talking to your children about keeping safe online

Responding to Bullying: This 90 minute workshop is designed to:

  • Increase your awareness of bullying behaviour
  • The different ways you can respond if your child is being bullied, or is involved in the bullying of others.
