Kinlochbervie High School

Newsletter 5 - January 2010

 

Vision Statement

Kinlochbervie High School is an inclusive community.  Excellence in education, the welfare, security and happiness of all pupils and staff are our priorities.

Kinlochbervie High School endeavours to take the needs of the individual into account.  We aim to provide pupils and staff with the skills, experiences and qualifications they need to give them choices in their progression through life.

HMIe Report

All parents will have their own copy of the HMIe report (sent home with pupils on Monday but spare copies available in school).  Next week Dr Smith will hold meetings in each of the four communities to discuss the report in detail with parents.  All parents, including those of primary school children, are invited to attend; please come along to the meeting that is most convenient to you.  The schedule is as follows.

Monday 1 February                 Durness Primary School at 7.30 pm

Tuesday 2 February                Kinlochbervie High School at 7.30 pm

Wednesday 3 February          Scourie Primary School at 7.30 pm

Thursday 4 February              Achfary Primary School at 7.30 pm

 Tartan Day

Pupils and staff donated £110 for the Highland Hospice during this non uniform day recently when all were invited to wear tartan.

S3-6 prelims will take place all next week.  Please support your children to complete their preparation for these important exams.
