to the meeting.
- Head
Teacher’s Report
This is attached for your information.
Julie agreed to link in with Mr Stevenson about the plans for the
Primary 7 Graduation Ceremony on 20 June 2012.
She also agreed to provide details of the profits the Parent Council had
made in the past school year to Mrs McClure, for this information to be
included in the School Newsletter. The
leaflet on ‘How to get parents involved with their child’s school’ was emailed by
Julie to Mrs McClure to update, as we thought this was a good way to target
parental involvement and recruit new members for the Parent Council in future.
The invite for the Primary 7 Graduation was passed around the group and
for members that weren’t at the meeting everyone is welcome to attend on
Wednesday 20 June at 1.30pm. Please let
Julie know if you are interested in attending for numbers to be collated, as
refreshments will be served.
- A.O.B
Mandy asked why the school website was never updated for class and other
school information. Mrs McClure
mentioned the difficulties in updating information on the website and the
future tool for displaying this will be ‘Glow’.
Curriculum evenings are a good way to show the work children have done
in class.
Amanda asked if the group were happy to donate a gift voucher for £30.00
to the raffle at the school Fun Day. We
all agreed with this and Amanda was happy to organise from the Parent Council
funds, as well as making fruit cups that the school could sell at the Fun Day.
We spoke about arrangements for the end of term Shorts & Shades
school disco. The date agreed was Tuesday
12 June and Christine confirmed to Julie she had booked the DJ at a cost of
£50.00.
Julie agreed to do the communication to parents and print off
tickets. The ticket price and times are
the same as before and this includes snack, drinks and party game prizes, as
well as prizes for best dressed.
- Dates

These are planned for the following months and further details will
follow on the school calendar, issued at the start of the new school year. As before we plan to hold two main fund
raising events during the school year, one before Christmas and one after,
still to be decided. This is as well as
two school discos!
