We would like to invite you to attend an open discussion on Parental Involvement, Parent Councils, Curriculum for Excellence and The National Forum.

The event is planned to take place at the New Airyhall school, at 7pm on Tuesday 29th September 2009.

Format for the evening will be follows: -

Introduction

Lorraine will share with us: -

· What has been happening around the country in relation to Parent Councils, Curriculum for Excellence and the National Forum.

· The latest developments in relation to these 3 areas.

· How her role as National Parental Involvement Coordinator promotes parental involvement generally, as well as supporting the development of Parent Councils.

The remainder of the meeting will be your opportunity to ask Lorraine questions and put forward valid points to be taken forward at a National level.

This invitation is open to all parents and an opportunity not to be missed. To reserve places at this most worthwhile event please contact me direct at Anthony.Rafferty@nhs.net

Welcome Back

Welcome back to the new school year. I trust everyone had a fantastic summer break and we’re all back refreshed for the coming year.

With this in mind I’m putting this reminder and open invitation to anyone who’s interested in the school’s parent council to come along to our first meeting of the session on Monday evening, the 31st August at 7PM in the school. Everyone is always welcome to attend parent council meetings.

We will also be doing a bit of a recruitment drive in the near future as Lynn’s ties to the school as a parent have ended with her daughter’s move to high school and there may be other roles requiring filling as we return and get the gossip news from the summer.

I’d particularly like to invite any parents who have never been before to come along and any new parents to the school, be it via nursery or moving to the area are also very welcome to come.

I hope you can come along and if so, I’ll see you there!
