Parent Council meeting – Monday 25th September, 6.30-8.00pm at Balerno High School

16 Saturday Sep 2017

≈ Comments Off on Parent Council meeting – Monday 25th September, 6.30-8.00pm at Balerno High School

The agenda for the meeting is available here. The Parent Council AGM will form a brief part of the overall meeting where we’ll seek to approve the amended constitution. The key change is to increase the number of parent members from 9 to 18 and to update wording in line with the current model constitution as suggested by the SPTC (Scottish Parent Teacher Council).

All parents and carers are welcome whether you are interested in joining the Parent Council or would simply like to stay informed about what is going on in the school.
