Another busy and successful week at Leith Academy as the days get longer. 3 weeks today we break up for the February holiday so every lesson / day / week counts as we enter the ‘choice’ process as pupils select their pathways.
Some highlights and key points to keep you informed;
Dance Team
5 pupils from the School (names to come) have been successful in securing a place on the Scotland Dance Team. They have qualified for the Dance World Cup in Rome. We will work together with the Dance School to support their fundraising campaign. A great achievement.
S2 into S3 choice continues
We had a very successful Parent session on the S2 into S3 choice process last night (Thursday). The next stage of this is our Parents’ evening next Thursday 23rd. Parents can make bookings using the online platform as usual.
Head Teacher Advisory Group
We held the first HT Advisory group this week with representatives from many parts of our community;
- Pupil Council Jnr
- Pupil Council Snr
- Head Boy / Girl
- LGBTQ
- Anti-bullying
- Mentors in Violence Prevention
- Climate Group
- Amnesty
We see this as a ‘focus group’ across the whole school. It is important to make space and time to hear the views and take steps. The group were able to articulate things we are progressing well with and the things we could think about further.
Have a good weekend from all at Leith Academy.
