MULL & MORVERN AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY ANNUAL SHOW (Founded 1832) GLENAROS - MULL THURSDAY 9TH AUGUST 2018 Souvenir Programme Price £1.50 Proud to support the Salen Show Wishing everyone a successful and enjoyable show day! HEAD OFFICE Craignure 01680 812475 A Note from the Show President As I write this the sun is still shining and all I can do is cross fingers that this continues into August. I would like to welcome you all, visitors and locals alike, to the 2018 Salen Show. This year we have a number of new sponsors. The cost of running the show is huge and we are very grateful to those businesses and individuals who ease this burden. There are also some new trophies, which are being awarded in memory of some very special people who were great friends of the Show. Thank you to their families for these lasting memories. Due to increased number of entries we have introduced a third sheep ring this year, which should speed up the sheep judging. Don’t miss the ever popular horse show, which is held on the top field. In the lower field there will be many attractions and trade stands to keep you busy and entertained. Have a wonderful day!

At the opening of Session 2017-18 the school roll was 221 with 20 children in the Pr-5 Unit, 59 in the Primary and 143 in the Secondary Departments. Generally, the children in Pre-5 and Primary are drawn from Tobermory and its immediate surrounding area only as we have associate Primaries at Salen, Dervaig, Lochdonhead and Ulva Ferry. The Secondary serves north Mull and each year around half of our S1 pupils transfer from Tobermory Primary while the remainder make the transition from our associate primaries. This session we also have 7 pupils attending on placing requests from Lochaline (Highland Council). The school invests considerable time in maintaining and developing links with its partner primary schools engaging in many joint events including residential trips and themed days which support Health and Wellbeing and Wider Achievement. Further to this, the Mull cluster come together to take part in CPD and share practice through the Mull Literacy Group moderation meetings. In the Primary and Secondary departments, in addition to the SLT, there is a staffing allocation of 20fte supported by an Additional Support Needs team providing staffing at a level of 5.46fte; some of the ASN team are assigned to Priority 1 pupils and others provide support to the full range of students.

    Ross of Mull & Iona Community Plan

    Ross of Mull & Iona Community Plan 2011 In 2010 the Ross of Mull (including Pennyghael and Tiroran) and Iona were identified by Highlands and Islands Enterprise as being an area which could receive support through their Growth at the Edge (GatE) programme. This involved supporting an anchor organisation, in this case Mull and Iona Community Trust, to facilitate community growth through the employment of a Local Development Officer and the creation of a Community Plan based on consultation with the local community and a socio-economic analysis. The project is funded by Highlands and Islands Enterprise & LEADER. The document will always be open to suggestions and changes from the community and should not be regarded as being inflexible.

The plan is an opportunity for our communities to control our development and implement projects, which will be of direct benefit to the Ross of Mull and Iona.
