Work Experience
A number of pupils are out of school on Work Experience this week as part of
the Careers Programme that the school operates. Pupils will be working in
various occupations from nursery and primary education to the army.
S2 Pupil Support Interviews
Interviews between S2 pupils and Pupil Support teachers have been taking
place this week. These interviews provide an opportunity for pupils to discuss
their reports, which will be issued to parents and carers in due course, and to
discuss the options available as pupils move from S2 to S3.
S2 Parent Teacher Interviews
The S2 Parent Teacher Interviews will take place on Wednesday 7th March
between 4.15pm and 6.45pm. This will provide a valuable opportunity to discuss
the progress and capabilities of pupils before they complete their final subject
choice forms for their S3/4 course. Appointment sheets will be posted to parents
along with the report.
