The reporting of problem to the transportation division, on the day of the occurrence, is vital to the resolution of the problem finding out 6 months later is no use!

S4 and S5 pupils were issued with their Course Choice Booklet at an assembly yesterday along with their coursing appointment letter and a recommendation sheet.
It is the pupil's responsibility to get their recommendation sheet completed by their teachers.
The sheet must be completed and brought with them to the course choice interview as coursing for next year will not be able to be done without this.
The Senior Course Choice Booklet for 2012-2013 can be viewed here.

In 2011 a team of enthusiastic and highly motivated staff sought funding and approval for the establishment of an innovative provision within the Secondary School to provide a much needed resource for the community and learning opportunities for pupils. A small amount of money and a great deal of personal effort by the staff involved led to the creation of the Tots and Teens Playgroup.
To ensure that we could understand and learn from the impact of this new provision an evaluation framework was established. The evaluation report sets out what we have learned in the first place and provides recommendations for the future.
Highlights have been the wider impact of play on the children’s lives, the growth in confidence in those S3 pupils involved and the fact that there were unexpected benefits for parents which we would not have realised if this evaluation had not been in place.
Please take the time to read this short report and to learn more about the importance of play in the early years.
Thank you to all the parents/carers who contact Knox before the school day to inform us if their youngster is going to be absent. Sometimes the telephone lines are very busy and your patience is appreciated. We also appreciate the letters sent in with pupils when they return to school.
Following a telephone call, pupils are recorded as having a verbal explanation for absence, however a letter from their parent/carer is required before the reason for absence is confirmed. If absences remain unexplained they will be changed to ‘N’ for ‘unreasonable excuse’ or ‘T’ for “truancy’.
For pupils in receipt of an Educational Maintenance Allowance, absences can affect the payments they receive.
Your help is most appreciated.
