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.

December 2018
December 2018 From the Rector Dear Parents/Carers, As we reach the end of another calendar year, it is good to review what has been achieved so far in this school session 208-19. I am immensely proud of all the achievements of our young people and this newsletter aims to highlight as many as possible. My sincere apologies to any pupil who has been missed out. At Grove Academy, we aim to give our young people a wide range of opportunities to enhance their school experience – opportunities which will help them along on their chosen learning pathway towards a successful and positive destination after leaving school. From my 5 a Day chats with pupils, I realise they value these opportunities greatly! This year has been no exception – with trips to Washington DC and New York, Berlin, Summerlee, the WW1 Battlefields, the Queensferry crossing, Dundee and Abertay Universities and the Scottish Parliament, as well as the Advanced Engineering Group’s visit to Seattle in Washington State, USA, where they won the “No guts, No Glory Award”. Please enjoy reading this newsletter and share the achievements of our excellent and ambitious young people. Since the start of the Session in August we have said goodbye to Mr Gourlay (Maths), Mrs Stirling (English) and Mrs Lauder who has gone on Maternity Leave after the birth of her son. We have welcomed back Mrs Cassidy (HE) and Mrs Lees (Business) from their Maternity leaves, and also welcomed our three new Probationary teachers, Miss MacLaren (CDT), Mr Boyd (Physics), Mr Honeyman (Chemistry) and recently Mrs Neilsen in Modern Studies.

WHAN Publication Final Printer
The Working in Health Access Network Interim Report and Discussion Paper January 2009 Foreword The Working in Health Access Network (WHAN) exists to increase interest in a career in health amongst school pupils. The focus of WHAN is to increase their aspirations and provide information concerning courses in healthcare in both universities and colleges - as well as introducing them to a wide range of exciting options for the future. The National Health Service (NHS) is the largest employer in the country and is central to the well being of the economy at large. At the heart of any strong and confident organisation is a knowledgeable, professional and motivated workforce. WHAN works directly with the next generation of health workers to ensure that the health sector is staffed by committed individuals with the skills required to help make Scotland a healthier, stronger, fairer, smarter and wealthier place in which to live, study and work. This report portrays the development of the WHAN network so far. It also raises questions and challenges for the future. As the current phase of WHAN continues until this July, the complete statistical analysis is not yet available. Nevertheless, there is considerable creativity, innovation and success in WHAN school and college activities. This report is an introduction to these activities; more detailed outcomes will be available from the middle of 2009. The project has forged a successful partnership. It grew out of the Working in Health Access Programme (WHAP) that was aimed particularly at medicine and veterinary medicine. The need to diversify to other health professions became apparent in order to fulfil the aspirations of young people, to provide realistic ambitions for them and, also, to be more cost effective.
