Parent Council

What is a Parent Council?

It is partnership designed to support every member of the school community.

What does a Parent Council do?

a) Supports school leaders to improve continuously the quality of education the school provides.

b) Develops and engages in activities which support the education and welfare of pupils.

c) Promotes contact between the school, the Parent Forum, prospective parents and the community.

e) Identifies and represents the views of the Parent Forum.

f) Raises funds for extra curricular ventures

g) Informs parents of new initiatives in education

h) Organises educational evenings as well as social gatherings

j) Acts as an informal channel of communication between parents and staff.

How can I help?

• Join the Parent Council or be part of the Social Committee sub group
• Share with the committee about your ideas, interests and concerns. The school needs your perspective.
• Come to information evenings to find out about changes in education
• Help with fundraising events e.g. fairs, jumble sales etc.
• Support social events (Information source: Scottish Parent Council website/ Publications / What is a Parent Council - http://www.sptc.info/)

As parents you can be as involved as you want to be. Some people would prefer not to attend regular meetings or be part of the committee, but would be keen to help out at events or have some good ideas for fundraising or social activities. If this is you then please contact the school with your details and let us know how you would like to help. The Parent Council will keep you informed (via e-mail if possible and the school website) of future events.  Parent Council meetings take place monthly in the school library at 7pm.Click here to contact the Parent CouncilThe Head Teacher and local councillors may attend all meetings as advisors to the Parent Council and have the right to speak although, not being members of the Parent Council, no right to vote.Meetings will be advertised each term in Hi There!, the school newsletter, and on this website.
