Welcome to 2012-13 — from the Parent Council Chair

Welcome, especially to you new parents and carers, to Broughton High School’s 2012-2013 academic year.

Your Parent Council seeks to keep you informed and supported as your child journeys through Broughton High School. We have meetings, a blog on our website, a regular e-news system, a Facebook page, and a Twitter profile, all managed by a team of volunteers like you, to give everyone the opportunity to be part of the life of our school.

We hope that you will sign up to our blog posts, register to receive e-mails, ‘Like’ us on Facebook, or follow us on Twitter.

Do you have news stories to share? Please get in touch. We aim to raise the profile of the school, and we look forward to anything you would like to spread to other parents and carers.

Would you care to volunteer? Our school values and welcomes the help of parents and other family members with activities and events, and in supporting the management of the school. There are formal school organisations, such as the Parent Council, that encourage parental involvement, but there are also many informal ways of helping out. We invite you to join us in any way you can. You can devote as much or as little time as you can spare.

Our AGM and first Parent Council meeting of the year is Tuesday 18 September at 6.30pm, in the school. You are warmly invited to come.

Do help spread the word with fellow parents and help us build a truly engaged parental community.

The Parent Council and I look forward to working with you.

Best wishes from Harald Tobermann, Chair
