Response to feedback submitted from HT Update week ending 01/09/23.
My Question | Comment | Suggestion related to the school this week is: | HT’s Response |
Could you please confirm if it is true that there was an adult intruder in the school building and surrounding area yesterday? Allegedly offering vapes, condoms & cuddles to the students. If this is the case, some reassurance to the students & their families would be welcome. I’m also interested to know if a police report was issued. As I’m aware there was an unusual police presence in the area yesterday. |
There was an incident on Thursday during our BGE lunchtime. SLT responded promptly with three of our senior team directly involved in the area at the front of the school. One of our DHTs called Police Scotland and they were involved in supporting the member of the community. The person did not enter the building.
We work closely with Police Scotland on incidents like these that ‘involve’ our students. Our ‘Campus Cop’ spoke with the parents/carers of three of our students who had been approached. The person involved in the incident has been charged and released with bail conditions that they do not enter, nor seek to enter, the grounds of Lasswade HS. Thankfully these incidents are rare occurrences. |
When do Duke of Edinburgh (bronze) activities/info start for S3? |
Sign-up only closed last Thursday. I’d expect it’ll take some time to process and organise. I’m afraid I can’t be certain at this stage, but we’ll communicate through the DoE Google Classroom. Applicants should keep an eye on that. |
