  • October 2017
    StranraerStranraer AcademyAcademy NewsletterNewsletter All the latest news from in and around the school... Issue 41 www.stranraeracademy.org.uk October 2017 S6 Girls vs Mr Hyslop Great Scottish Run 10K Challenge! Mr Hyslop of Modern Studies was recently challenged to a 10k race by S6 girls Katie Macmillan and Ellen Watt with the aim of raising funds for the family of Stranraer Academy Network Technician Mr Andrew Glasgow, who sadly passed away on 28th August after a battle with cancer. The girls did very well and put in a great level of effort, but Mr Hyslop ended up with the fastest time of 00:49:59 with a pace of 05:00 min/km! The plan was for the girls to directly compete against Mr Hyslop at the Great Scottish Run in Glasgow but Katie was unable to take part in that event and therefore completed her 10k at another race in Musselburgh - with former pupil Duncan Anderson stepping in as her pacemaker. She finished her race in a great time of 01:04:26. Ellen enlisted the help of classmate Chloe Laverie to act as a pacemaker for her event and the girls did very well, finishing in a good time of 01:33:22. The trio set a target of raising £1000 for the Glasgow family and we are happy to announce that they surpassed that amount recently. Well done everyone! Donations are still being accepted from the following link: https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/mrhyslopellenandkatie?utm_term=QAmEB48wE Well done to everyone who took part!

It has a participatory and holistic approach with a combination of learning and action that provides an ideal vehicle for schools to embark on meaningful improvements to their school environment and local community. It also provides pupils with the confidence and detailed information on issues to allow them to influence the lives of others, such as school staff, families, local authorities and other young people. In Dumfries and Galloway there had been a five year history of organised Eco-Schools development, managed and led by Solway Heritage, which had greatly impacted on the levels of awards achieved by schools in the region and the attitudes and knowledge of young people about the issues facing them with regard to sustainable development.

The trophy was presented by Clive Thomson, President of Glasgow Province to encourage a closer relationship between the two Provinces in Area 4. Dunbartonshire came out on top by the substantial margin of 66- 31. The main difference was that Glasgow had opened up the match to any individual curler in the Province whereas Dunbartonshire asked 8 clubs to provide a rink.

  • SPTC Mission and Values
    SPTC Mission and Values SPTC’s mission is to support the development and maintenance of high quality parental involvement. We will achieve this by: • sustaining SPTC as a robust, parent-led, independent membership organisation with a focus on research and evidence-based development. • working with parents and carers to build their confidence, knowledge and skills so they feel able to engage in the way they wish, with their child’s school and wider education services. • working in partnership with organisations and individuals in the educational and wider Scottish community, to build awareness of and engagement with parental involvement and its benefits for children, families and communities. Our Values • We are a membership organisation committed to treating all members and stakeholders with respect, honesty and integrity. • The Directors and staff work tirelessly and passionately to create productive, creative partnerships which support positive educational outcomes for all young people. • We engage with our employees respectfully and flexibly, supporting their learning and progression and encouraging their enthusiastic involvement in the development of the organisation. • We support parents and carers to be involved in the way that is right for them: with their own child’s learning; the local school; local authority or at national policy level. • We are committed to equality and dignity for all parents, carers and children. • We utilise evidence and research to advance our work and to support policy and practice. 1 Convener’s Report – Jeanna Brady Reflections on SPTC’s 67th Year Welcome to our annual report on the activities of SPTC during the organisation’s 67th year. While some might consider that the grande dame of parental involvement in Scottish schools should perhaps be slowing down a little, the very opposite is in fact true.
