Self found forms are due Monday 21 March 2016.

S3 pupils are nearing the end of the time when self found forms can be handed in  The deadline is Monday 21 March 2016.  Please let us know at school if the form will be held up for any reason.  If forms are still at the bottom of bags, it's probably too late to secure a placement now.  The database has a supply of jobs remaining, but they are dwindling fast!

I believe that there is a rumour amongst that we will be finishing at lunchtime on the 24th March for the Easter Holidays. Please note that this is NOT the case – school will finish at 4pm that day, as normal.

Thank you.

If you are making payments to the school for various activities (including Activities Week) before the Easter holidays, please could these (if paying by cash/cheque) be made by Friday 18 March 2016.  This will assist the school office in end of term arrangments: cheques handed in after this may not be cashed until after the Easter Holidays, and this means no cash is in school over the holiday period for security.

 

The Italy Excursion has a final payment date of Wednesday 23 March 2016 - this is now extended until Wednesday 13 April 2016.
