After school bus from St Johns to Ninewells and City Centre withdrawn, with one journey retained timed for St Paul’s Academy. Afternoon times vary, depending on the day of week, in line with new Dundee City school hours. Xplore Dundee Services 11S/12S (Ninewells Avenue/Perth Road – Lawton Road for Harris Academy decant site) Services withdrawn after the new rebuilt Harris Academy reopens to pupils. The new Harris will be served by the 5, 9/10, 16, X53, and dedicated school buses. Xplore Dundee Service 14 (Ninewells Hospital – Douglas) Timetable revised, and will now only operate between The Stack and Douglas, on a similar frequency to now. The intermediate running times on the remainder of the route are changed, to improve reliability. Some buses are now 2-3 minutes earlier or later than now (mornings) or up to 5-10 minutes earlier/later (Evenings). Eastbound, the first two arrivals into Douglas in the morning withdrawn. Westbound, there are extra buses at 08.41 and 17.44 from Douglas to The Stack, but the first afternoon bus from Douglas to The Stack is withdrawn. Service will serve the full length of Clepington Road, no longer running via Forfar Road and Kingsway East after Maryfield. NEW SERVICE Xplore Dundee Service 14S (Douglas – St Paul’s Academy) Former Strathtay service 501 now operated by Xplore Dundee as Service 14S. Morning service retimed to leave at 08.10, with the times revised for reliability. Service now starts from Balunie Avenue near Baldovie Road, instead of Arbroath Road/Monymusk Park.

Xplore Dundee Service 17S (Whitfield – St Paul’s Academy) Afternoon times vary, depending on the day of week, in line with new Dundee City school hours.

Saturday – one extra journey at 05.40 from Courthouse Square to Asda Kirkton, is added to the timetable (this direction only). Sunday – major changes during the daytime, as the service will no longer work with Services 32/33 to Fintry, but will still do so during the evening. The first Sunday bus that leaves Kirkton then continuing as a 32/33 will be the 17.50 from Kirkton. As a result, Sunday daytime buses can be boarded at the usual 18 stops, at Courthouse Square and Albert Square, rather than King Street and Nethergate. The Sunday timetable will change, with buses at 11.00 and 11.15 from Kirkton 2 minutes later, 11.32 1 minute later, then from 11.47 buses will leave 1 minute earlier.

Extra Monday – Friday morning buses from City Centre (Whitehall Street) to Ninewells Hospital at 05.18, 06.08, 06.40, 06.58. These will supplement the main service from Craigowl View. Extra Monday – Friday morning buses from the City Centre (High Street) to Craigowl View at 06.10, 06.35, 07.00, 07.13, 07.45. These will supplement the main service from Ninewells Hospital.

Extra Monday – Friday buses at 18.27, 18.42, and 00.03 from Ninewells Hospital to City Centre. The last of these runs Saturdays and Sundays too. Some other changes to Saturday daytimes too.

    Dundee's Young People Take Centre Stage in Anti-Prejudice Exhibition Launch Event

    Dundee's young people take centre stage in anti-prejudice exhibition launch event A thought-provoking exhibition which explores the life and modern legacy of Anne Frank launches today (7 June) at *Dundee Central Library to help mark the 10th anniversary of the charity behind it. Anne Frank + You, presented by anti-prejudice education charity Anne Frank Scotland, in partnership with Dundee City Council, draws on elements from Anne's life and diary that have a strong contemporary resonance. The result is a thought-provoking, stimulating and reflective experience for visitors – one which examines themes including the nature of prejudice, and the value of freedom and education. The launch event has been organised - with support from Anne Frank Scotland's staff - by a steering group of teenaged Anne Frank Ambassadors: young people who through their engagement with the charity's educational programmes have been inspired and empowered to challenge all forms of prejudice and discrimination, and have gone on to become vocal proponents of Anne Frank's message of social justice and equality in their schools and local communities. Several of them will take centre stage at the event, delivering speeches, presentations and songs. In the last decade Anne Frank Scotland has created over 400 such Ambassadors from the tens of thousands of young people it has worked with. Speakers at the launch event – which takes place days before what would have been Anne Frank's 89th birthday (12 June) – include: • Anne Frank Ambassadors from Dundee secondary schools*: the young people will deliver presentations on Anne Frank, and issues facing young people today.

    Supporting Learning in Dundee Information for Parents and Young

    Additional Support for Learning in Dundee Supporting Learning in Dundee Information for Parents and Young People Dundee City Council Education Department 1 Additional Support for Learning in Dundee Information for Parents 1. Policy in relation to provision for additional support needs Dundee City Council Education Department’s policy in relation to provision for additional support needs is currently under review to take account of the new requirements under the Education (Support for Learning) (Scotland) Act which commenced in November 2005. You can find out how children are supported in your child’s school when they have additional support needs by contacting the Head Teacher. 2. What are ‘additional support needs’? A child or young person is said to have additional support needs if he or she is unable to benefit from school or pre-school education without help which is additional to that which is normally given to children or young people of the same age. Additional support needs can arise from a variety of circumstances. These fall broadly into four categories. The learning environment might cause a child or young person to need additional support e.g. a child or young person whose first language is not English might need additional support until they become comfortable in using English. Family circumstances may give rise to additional support needs. Examples might include bereavement, divorce, any kind of family breakdown, a child or young person being looked after by the local authority, a young person becoming a parent. Disability or health needs might mean that additional support is required. For example, a child or young person who has difficulties associated with mobility, sight, hearing, communication, autistic spectrum disorder, learning difficulties, or mental health problems.
