Parent Council Meeting Wednesday 19th August
The first meeting of the Parent Group took place in the school staff room on Wednesday of last week. Mr Nick Quail, welcomed all parents before delivering an update on school matters. He informed parents that the new uniform policy, where pupils must wear a blazer at all times, along with minor changes to the existing uniform, had been very successful. Mr Quail reported that 100% of pupils were in full new school uniform by Wednesday of the first week. He thanked parents for their support on the matter and thanked pupils for their cooperation. Mr Quail delivered an update on the new Clyde Valley Campus, the newest members of staff to join the school and reported on the recent successful SQA results. He finished with some information about the school’s new Support Hub, which aims to support our young people who may have difficulties adjusting to the classroom environment. The support hub aims to provide intensive supervision and support whilst pupils engage in the normal work of the class.
