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.
