Thank you to all parents/carers who booked and attended virtual appointments for our S3 Parents’ Evening (Tuesday 13th of December ). We hope you all had a very positive experience and look forward to communicating with you again in the near future:
We would like to take this opportunity to gather your feedback, as this is the first Parents’ Evening of the school year and we have made some changes from last year:
Given that there are 300 students in the S3 cohort, we recognise that it is very challenging to suit every circumstance. However, we value parent/carer feedback and use it to evaluate your experiences and implement change. We would appreciate it if you could complete this short S3 Parents Evening Feedback Form Google Form by Friday 30th December .
We are delighted to inform you that we will be offering a free first aid qualification to all S4 students in December. I will be communicating details with the S4 during an assembly on Thursday 1st December.
In general, students will do the course in their registration groups as detailed in the link below. However, there are a small number of students who have SQA assessments on their assigned day. If this is the case, they have been moved to a different date. This will be shared with students via their Google Classroom.
Please see the letter below for full details.
I would like to take the opportunity to tell you about some upcoming events Students Awards Agency Scotland (SAAS) will be offering for parents and carers of a child who is considering entering higher education in Autumn 2023.
These sessions will explain the funding packages available from SAAS for those planning to undertake higher education courses (HNC/HND/Degree courses) as well as how and when to apply and an opportunity to ask any questions.
These sessions will be online and will take place in the evening during December. Parents and carers can check the available dates and times and book a place on these talks here https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/137287290983
Once booked, they will receive a booking confirmation with a link that will allow them to access the meeting.
If you have any questions relating to this offer, please email saasevents@gov.scot and we will get back to you asap.
