May I take this opportunity to wish you a Happy New Year and a prosperous 2018. I hope you had a relaxing and enjoyable Christmas break.<\/p>\n

We are looking forward to a productive year, with many exciting opportunities planned for our young people and staff, as well as the important business of prelim examinations and the SQA examinations in May.<\/p>\n

Please see below a list of dates for some of our events this term and a full list of calendar dates can be accessed via the school website. <\/p>\n

Prelim timetables are being issued to students this week and I would ask for your support in reinforcing with your son\/daughter how important the prelim exams are, both from the point of viewing of gauging progress in learning, but also in relation to having robust evidence of progress in the event of ill health or some other issue preventing a youngster from attempting the SQA exam in May.<\/p>\n

Finally, can I encourage parents of senior school students to attend our parents\u2019 evenings next week, to allow us to continue to effectively support you and your son\/daughter in achieving their goals this year. I will be available to meet with parents on the night and appointments can be made via the electronic booking system.<\/p>\n

I look forward to continuing to work in partnership with you throughout 2018.<\/p>\n

Barry Smith – Headteacher<\/p>\n
