Parent Council meetings are held in the flexi-base on the ground floor of the school. The atmosphere is informal, and if you just want to come along and listen in to what goes on, you are very welcome – you don’t need to have a reason to be there, and you don’t have to speak. In the evening, the main gates of the school are closed, so you should walk through the staff car park to get access to the playground. The main front door will be open.
This term’s meetings will be at 7pm on the second Tuesday of each month.
In the Box
If you want an issue raised at a Parent Council meeting please let us know and we can put it on the agenda. School lunches; sport; dress code; road safety; after-school clubs – if you feel strongly about anything happening (or not happening) at St. Mary’s, this is the place to bring it up. You can come and talk about it at the meeting or write something to be read out and discussed. There is a box in the school foyer where you can leave a note telling us about your concern or point of view. Please also leave your email details there if you want to receive minutes etc. by email. We also recognise the importance of looking beyond the immediate concerns at St Mary’s, at the bigger education picture – for example the new Curriculum for Excellence – and hope to address these subjects both at Parent Council meetings and at evening events for the larger school community to come to.
Bottom Shop
Meetings are usually over by 8.15, when everyone is welcome to an even more informal part of the evening in the Bottom Shop (Links Tavern, Restalrig Road). If you can’t get to the meeting, join us there.
