Free resource for parents & guardians
The Scottish Government has announced that all families in Scotland will have free access to the full Solihull Online resource for parents and carers. This initiative is being delivered in partnership with NES. Solihull Online is a universal resource for parents and carers from the antenatal period to 19 years. It offers a series of modules containing interactive activities, quizzes and video clips. The online resource focusses on developing nurturing and supportive relationships between children and their carers. It aims to help parents understand their child’s behaviour in the context of their child’s development and the parent-child relationship.
The following courses are available free for parents/carers in Scotland
- Understanding pregnancy, labour, birth and your baby
- Understanding your baby
- Understanding your child
- Understanding your teenager’s brain
To access these courses for free, families need to use the access code TARTAN.
Senior Pupil Leadership Team 2020-2021
Dear S4, S5 and S6 students,
I am writing to you to let you know how to apply for various positions in the Senior Pupil Leadership Team. There are two Heads of Schools roles, two Depute Heads of School or three House Captain roles, and a number of prefect positions.
Please read the description of the roles and responsibilities very carefully. Only S6 pupils can apply to be Heads of School or Deputes/ House Captains and interviews will be held with Mrs Sloan and I in the middle of June.
Any pupil from S4-S6 can apply to be a prefect, or if you are already a prefect, then please write me an email to say you wish to continue. If you have not been a prefect before you must apply.
I look forward to receiving your application forms by email to Jodie.hannan@drummond.edin.sch.uk by noon on Wednesday 10 June.
Regards,
Ms Hannan
