LE/SW 6Th October 2020 Dear Parent / Carer As Many of You Will Know, It

Hyndland Secondary School Lauderdale Gardens Glasgow G12 9RQ Phone 0141 582 0130 Fax 0141 582 0131 www.hyndland-sec.glasgow.sch.uk Head Teacher Louise Edgerton Bed Mus (Hons) LE/SW 6th October 2020 Dear Parent / Carer As many of you will know, it is with a heavy heart that I inform our school community that this will be Barry Mochan’s last week, as he officially takes up his post as Head Teacher of Bellahouston Academy after the October break. Barry has been such an important part of Hyndland’s journey - he is the consummate professional. Barry has touched the lives of many young people not only through his passion for teaching English and his Bar Mock Trial involvement which has been a highlight over the years. How fitting in his final year at Hyndland, the Team made the Scottish final at the Glasgow High Court. Barry has worked tirelessly to improve the lives of all young people in his caseload, regularly going above and beyond. Barry promotes continuous positive relationships in our community. I am 100% sure that I speak on behalf of our school community in wishing Barry every best wish in his new post. His legacy will continue long after he has left and he will go onto be an excellent Headteacher. Following on from yesterday's interviews, I can confirm that Vicki Smedley, who has been acting Depute Head Teacher in Rosshall Academy, will take up Barry's vacancy. A start date is yet to be confirmed. Thanks are due to representation from the parent council and the pupil panel whose contributions were greatly appreciated yesterday. We look forward to welcoming Vicki Smedley to Hyndland. Yours sincerely L Edgerton Head Teacher Glasgow-UK Council of the Year 2015 Glasgow-Supporting the Gaelic language Glaschu – a’ toirt taic do’n Ghàidhlig Glasgow-UNESCO City of Music Glasgow City Council is an equal opportunities employer .

Holocaust Educational Trust Lessons from Auschwitz Project Briefing For
Holocaust Educational Trust Lessons from Auschwitz Project Briefing for Nicola Sturgeon MSP, First Minister One day visit to Auschwitz-Birkenau – background information Tuesday 30th October Holocaust Educational Trust’s Lessons from Auschwitz Project The Holocaust Educational Trust’s Lessons from Auschwitz Project for post-16 students and teachers is now in its nineteenth year and has taken over 37,000 students and teachers from across the UK to the Nazi concentration and death camp Auschwitz-Birkenau. The four-part course is open to two students from every school and college in England, Scotland and Wales, and incorporates a one-day visit to Auschwitz-Birkenau. The visits, combined with Orientation and Follow-Up Seminars, leave an unforgettable emotional and educational mark on participants. The Project aims to increase knowledge and understanding of the Holocaust based on the premise that ‘hearing is not like seeing’ and to signal what can happen if prejudice and racism become acceptable. Since 2009 funding has been provided by the Scottish Government, enabling us to deliver two Lessons from Auschwitz Projects per year from Scotland. We are grateful to the Scottish Government for its support and we currently receive a grant of £296,000 per annum to deliver the project. This current round of funding runs to April 2019. The Lessons from Auschwitz Project is open to two students aged 16-18 (in S5 or S6) from each secondary school in Scotland. The Project is promoted by a mailing being sent to schools with details of each course and a brochure (see attached). The Project is well established in schools across Scotland with demand for places being high.

From: [REDACTED] Sent: 07 March 2018 14:06 To: [REDACTED] Cc: [REDACTED] Subject: RE: Call yesterday Hi [REDACTED] It was lovely to speak to you and [REDACTED] last week too – thank you both for your time. We are delighted that the First Minister will be joining us on our Lessons from Auschwitz Project visit from Glasgow in the autumn. The provisional dates we have for the seminars which will be held in Glasgow are: Orientation seminar – Sunday 21st October Follow-up seminar – Monday 5th November In terms of our two projects which took place from Scotland last autumn, please see the attached spreadsheet for a list of schools which participated from Edinburgh and Glasgow (please see each individual tab). As discussed, we do have students participating from schools across Scotland but we will also undertake further internal mapping and highlight areas we are particularly keen to target so you can share this with local authority contacts. Thank you for sending through the link relating to the Year of the Young People – I will look at this but my initial impression as you say is that it does seem to link with the Lessons from Auschwitz Project.
