TRIP TO BELGIUM
– JUNE 2013
There
will be a meeting in B1 next Wednesday 7th November at interval to
issue letters and EE2 forms for this.
It is
vital that all pupils going on this trip attend this meeting.
There is
still a couple of spaces available for this trip – please see Mrs O’Brien
asap if you are interested in coming along.
Pedals not Petrol
Do you get a lift to
school? The energy it takes to cycle to school would only get your car to the
end of the drive.
Next week (190th
-23rd), cycle to school in the morning and receive a tasty free
breakfast of pastries, toast and hot chocolate. Totally free!!
Arrive from 8.15 to the
bell and look out for 6th years in bike helmets stationed at bike
lock up points. They’ll give you a sticker and direct you and your friends to
your free breakfast.
Happy cycling! (Don’t
forget your helmet).
CYP
As of
Wednesday 14th November, Canongate Youth Project [CYP] will
be in and around the school over the lunchtime period on Wednesdays. CYP
already has a role within the school through our Early Intervention contract,
offering both individual and groupwork support to pupils. We are hoping that
by having a presence within the playground and school perimeter that we will
increase our profile amongst the wider school population. We will be able to
offer advice, information, support and guidance to pupils in an informal
setting whilst promoting both the services that we offer in JGHS and the
community based services on offer from our base at South Bridge Resource
Centre.
