HIGHSHORE SCHOOL 17th April 2015 DATES FOR YOUR DIARY Dear parents and carers, 22nd to 24th April—Art Exams It was so good to see the pupils on Tuesday. They were so happy to be back and we enjoyed the lovely weather in the playground. On Monday which was a staff training day we renewed our safeguarding training as a staff group. Child protection is at the heart of what we do and it was good to spend time reflecting on our practise. We spent some of the time looking at the risks of the internet. Later this term we will be running E safety training, for parents and I encourage you to come along. Our Governors will be renewing their safeguarding training next week. 29th April—3.15pm Parents Makaton Training 30th April—3.15pm The Challenge Presentation for Parents of Years 11, 12 & 13 pupils 1st May—AM SaLT Parents Drop In (Please call Tony/Becky for appointment) 7th May—Election Day—National and Highshore Elections 7th May—Mobile Dentists in The General Election takes place in May.
