Madras College Newsletter - Summer Term 1985
Madras College Newsletter - Summer Term 1985 The month of June is one that most staff and pupils look forward to - for senior pupils it means that SCE exams are done with, replaced by the interest and challenge of new courses; for all of us it signals the approach of the long vacation, and the prospect in the meantime of long hot June days. These we still await. Perhaps July? This has been a session of considerable upheaval in the South Street Building. The creation, within the existing structure, of eight additional practical rooms has involved making some two dozen room changes. In spite of these changes, and the accompanying noises of hammering and drilling, staff and pupils have continued to work away steadily. I appreciate their tolerance. The fact that there has been much less disruption than was at one time feared, is due to the close co-operation of Mr McAra of the Regional Architect's Department, Mr Paterson, Assistant Rector (Administration) and Mr Prunty, Head Janitor, who among them have managed this complex operation with efficiency and good humour. The results of the alterations are a great credit to Mr McAra and the tradesman of Fife Region Works Department. One function of the newsletter is to welcome new members of staff and to thank those who are leaving. This issue is no exception. At the end of the term we lose through retiral four members of staff whose combined service in Madras College and, in some cases, in the old Burgh School totals over 100 years - Mr A. -

SPTC 2012 Annual Report
2012 Convener’s Report – Jeanna Brady Reflections on SPTC’s 64th Year Change continues to be the watchword for Scottish education and for SPTC too! As Vice-Convener of SPTC, I have encountered significant change as I found myself stepping into the shoes of our Convener, Kate Cunningham, who began long-term sick leave in the summer of 2011. Kate stood down late in the year but I am pleased to report she has made a good recovery and everyone at SPTC wishes her well. The pace of change at SPTC has continued unabated over this last financial year. Our target is SPTC’s long term financial sustainability, while strengthening the organisation’s services to parents and carers across Scotland. Parents and carers see SPTC as both independent and knowledgeable, something this year’s survey of our members has confirmed to us (more of that later). Members also told us how much they value the advice and practical support we provide. Membership is the backbone of our organisation: as our only source of funding, membership fees are vitally important if we are to continue in this unique role. The new three-year membership model for local authorities, which includes support time from SPTC for parent groups, continues to grow in popularity, as does the range of information and training sessions our team is able to offer. This financial year we worked face-to-face with in excess of 450 parents and carers in local authority areas from Moray and Aberdeenshire in the north, to North Ayrshire and Scottish Borders in the south – and many points in between.
