Parent Council
As intimated in a previous blog the Parent Council met for the first time this session on Monday 24th August. We were delighted to welcome some new members and would be keen to see more new faces. The next meeting is at 7pm on Monday 21st September and will also include the AGM. Should you wish more information about the Parent Council please feel free to contact me at school.
Duke of Edinburgh – Gold – Expedition presentations’ evening
On Thursday 27th August our pupils who are working towards their Gold awards, made presentations to staff and family members about their Gold expeditions . Before the presentations began we enjoyed a buffet which was served in the street area. The presentations were very entertaining and gave a real sense of the trials the pupils had to endure this year to complete their expeditions. The weather conditions were exceedingly harsh this year so it was a fantastic achievement that all the pupils passed and were still smiling at the end!
Late bus
Every Monday to Thursday a late bus leaves the school an hour after finishing time. This is funded by the school and allows pupils to stay on after school to attend extra curricular events, supported study etc. Pupils are encouraged to make use of this service.
Leadership Team
Following voting by staff and pupils the pupils with the highest number of votes were interviewed by Mrs Mather and me earlier this week. I am pleased to inform you that the following pupils will now take on these assigned roles –
Head Boy – Ben Herrington
Head Girl – Louise McCloskey
Deputy Head Boy – Scott McIldowie
Deputy Head Girl – Kim Crane
I am looking forward to working with the team and I am optimistic that they will work well as a team and show initiative throughout this year. The Heads and Deputies will be joined by Guidance captains who will be announced soon.
