Extra Curricular Activities Selkirk High School - 04/12/2017

S1:

In the High School we have always offered a wide range of extra-curricular activities to students. There is now an updated list of all the available extra curricular activities on the school website and the school Facebook page. After Christmas we are going to work with all 1st year students so that they sign up for at least one extra-curricular session per week.

A Message from the Head Teacher - 15/09/2017

Dear Parents and Carers,

What an honour it is to be at Selkirk High School!

And what a privilege it is to get to know the young people, their families, their teachers and the great contributors of this magnificent community!

I am totally convinced that Selkirk High School is a place where we really can have the highest expectations: if we all work together, our young people will show that they are capable of pretty much anything. I have no doubt about this whatsoever.

I would like to thank you for your support with the uniform which is, after all, a continual and visual reminder for all our students of these high expectations. Beyond October, I hope that jeans and trainers will no longer be worn by any students. Please get in touch with the school office if there is any obstacle preventing your young person from wearing the uniform.

I will be holding a series of Saturday ‘HT Drop-In sessions’ for parents: if you would like to have a chat, I will be available from 9.30 to 12 o’clock on Saturday 23^rd September for the first of these sessions. Please just call the office if you’d like to pop in so I know how much coffee to brew.

Our Pupil Press Group has secured a weekly page in the Border Telegraph and the Selkirk Advertiser. I hope you enjoy this celebration of our young people and their experiences.

Values in Action. The school is on a campaign to put our values into action. This involves a programme of assemblies and events, including a whole school Values In Action Day on 6^th October. Please look out for the upcoming information from our student Head Team.

I am consulting with pupils and teachers as we work together to develop our School Improvement Priorities. I would be grateful if all parents contributed too by completing the attached surveys by Tuesday 19^th Sept in order that we reflect the views and values of those we serve at SHS.

(School Improvement survey- it’s short!) https://qdpservices.co.uk/OnlineQuestionnaire.aspx?code=71888-19317-17932015

(Educational Values survey- it’s very short!) https://qdpservices.co.uk/OnlineQuestionnaire.aspx?code=13098-19279-17931819

Thank you very much indeed.

I look forward to seeing you on Saturday or before long.

Jamie Bryson
