Parent Council

The school Parent Council is open to all parents. The next meeting  will take place on Tuesday 27 October  7pm in the new Malala building library (entrance from Warrender Park Road). The agenda for the meeting will be available through the following link: Parent Council Website

All parents, carers and local elected officials are very welcome to attend, in particular those new to the school – this is a good way to find out more about what is going on at school.

Dress Code Consultation

I came across this article in the Edinburgh Evening News earlier today.

Interesting reading.

Funds for Syrian refugees

Huge thanks to everyone in the school who contributed to raising £865 to support Syrian refugees. Pictured are Captiva Mills (S6 Pupil Voice Leader) handing over a cheque to Victoria Telford from Mercy Corps.

Dress Code Survey

At our Parent Council Meeting on Tuesday 15 September, Eilidh Grant from our Maths department, presented a summary of the data we gathered during our recent consultation on school dress code for pupils. This link allows you to view the slides shown. In excess of 1850 responses were received. Thank you to everyone who took the time to vote and to offer very detailed and eloquently argued points of view. My senior team will now go through all of the responses and aim to make a decision on what we intended to change by 9 October 2015. Any changes will come into effect for August 2016 when the entire campus rebuild  is completed.
