Douglas-Ewart High School Newsletter June 2018 DOUGLAS-EWART HIGH SCHOOL NEWSLETTER JUNE 2018 Dear Parent/Carer The School Handbook is updated every year and is available on the School Website www.dehs.info At the recent Parent Council meeting the subject of suitable school dress was raised. In section 8.2 of the School Handbook on page 14 there is an explanation of the situation in all Dumfries and Galloway schools with regard to School Uniform/Dress Policy. On page 15 of the same section 8.2 there is clarification of the DEHS School Dress Code which is black or grey in terms of trousers and skirts, black sweatshirt/pullover, white shirt/blouse, with a school tie optional. This is based on three principles: Pupils need to identify with the school as a community and take pride in it. All pupils look and feel equal. The school and its pupils have a positive image in our local community. In my time here, since 2005, no-one has ever been sent home because of dress issues although individuals may have missed a class for Health and Safety reasons. I am often questioned about enforcing school dress code and my answer is consistent. Extra-curricular involvement within or outwith the school necessitates complying with the dress code which should be encouraged by staff involved in providing the activities. However, the school dress code can only be applied by parents and carers. Your support is needed in this matter. A pupil’s dress reflects the attitude of both parent/carer and child. Education is not about discouraging individuality but a school dress code should ensure that youngsters express their individuality in ways which draw attention to them for positive reasons rather than superficial reasons. On a daily basis I see the positives and they far outweigh the negatives. Being young is increasingly difficult and challenging as society progresses at pace and that pace causes stress and anxiety for many. Youngsters are particularly vulnerable. For that reason the focus of the school for the coming session is in line with its key values of Inclusion, Innovation and Evolution. Inclusion is about more than dress. Inclusion is about more than exams success. It is about physical and mental health. It is about looking at different ways of doing things rather than repeating failures and it is about not standing still. Put quite simply, the school strives to treat every individual with compassion and understanding by creating an environment where people; staff; pupils and parents/carers are valued and their needs met. I hope you find that this the final Newsletter of the session reflects all of our core values. My best wishes to all who are returning to school next year and to all who are moving on. Those who leave have left a positive legacy for those who continue. Thank you. School Dress Code & Ordering Arrangements Items of embroidered uniform can be ordered online at: www.border-embroideries.co.uk Order forms are available from the school office for any parent/carer who does not have online access or the ability to pay electronically.

Free School Meals/Clothing Grant Forms 2018/2019 The process for applying for Free School Meals and/or Clothing Grants has changed for academic year 2018/19.

Parents/carers can e-mail [email protected] to request this form or can obtain it from the school office. If the child is no longer to be included as part of a current application, the parent/carer should e-mail [email protected] to let them know to remove the child from the claim. Parents/carers are still required to complete an application and provide supporting evidence in the following circumstances: are an asylum seeker receiving support under part VI of the Immigration & Asylum Act 1999; live outwith the region and their child attends a school within Dumfries & Galloway; are not currently in receipt of Free School Meals and/or a Clothing Grant. Parents/carers will no longer receive an entitlement letter but schools will be informed directly of eligibility to Free School Meals prior to the start of the new session. The Education Department will write to parents/carers if they are no longer eligible. In addition to the national eligibility criteria set out above, The Education (Scotland) Act 2016 now permits Education authorities the discretion to provide a Free School Meals to a pupil, particularly where there are cases of hardship due to exceptional circumstances.

  • A Landscape Fashioned by Geology
    64751 SNH SW Cvr_5mm:cover 14/1/09 10:00 Page 1 Southwest Scotland: A landscape fashioned by geology From south Ayrshire and the Firth of Clyde across Dumfries and Galloway to the Solway Firth and northeastwards into Lanarkshire, a variety of attractive landscapes reflects the contrasts in the underlying rocks. The area’s peaceful, rural tranquillity belies its geological roots, which reveal a 500-million-year history of volcanic eruptions, continents in collision, and immense changes in climate. Vestiges of a long-vanished ocean SOUTHWEST are preserved at Ballantrae and the rolling hills of the Southern Uplands are constructed from the piled-up sediment scraped from an ancient sea floor. Younger rocks show that the Solway shoreline was once tropical, whilst huge sand dunes of an arid desert now underlie Dumfries. Today’s landscape has been created by aeons of uplift, weathering and erosion. Most recently, over the last 2 million years, the scenery of Southwest Scotland was moulded by massive ice sheets which finally melted away about 11,500 years ago. SCOTLAND SOUTHWEST A LANDSCAPE FASHIONED BY GEOLOGY I have a close personal interest in the geology of Southwest Scotland as it gave me my name. It comes of course from the town of Moffat, which is only a contraction of Moor Foot, which nestles near the head of a green valley, surrounded by hills and high moorland. But thank God something so prosaic finds itself in the midst of so SCOTLAND: much geological drama. What this excellent book highlights is that Southwest Scotland is the consequence of an epic collision.

  • Legal Highs Dumfries and Galloway
    Legal Highs Dumfries and Galloway Executive Summary Legal Highs have been receiving increasing attention over the last few years in many areas of the country. In July 2012, Dumfries and Galloway Council noted that this was becoming an increasing problem for them, particularly following the death of a local young person thought to be linked to legal high use. In a bid to tackle the problem, Community Learning and Development (CLD), in partnership with other community safety partners, planned and implemented a project that aimed to support a group of young people to research a piece of work on the topic of legal highs and to use the evidence gathered to produce an informative media resource that could be used to raise awareness of the dangers of legal highs. The project took place in July and August 2012 and allowed young people to develop new skills that related to researching, scripting, acting, filming and editing a short DVD that was then used to educate other young people and the wider community on the dangers associated with psychoactive substances. The project culminated in a red carpet launch event which allowed the young people to showcase the DVD and to host a question and answer session with the community. The DVD has also been uploaded to YouTube - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLgESQJTjvI - and is now widely used by Police Scotland and secondary schools. Since the project there has been a marked improvement in the knowledge levels of the young people involved and the relationships between them and the other community safety partners has also improved.
