Kids – be safe online

The Scottish Government has just published a revised and updated plan to help protect children and young people online. The refreshed plan will help children and young people develop the skills they need to stay safe on the internet and support parents and carers to be more aware of the potential risks that their children face online. There’s lots of useful information and you can find it here https://news.gov.scot/news/protecting-children-online-1

Support an S6 pupil chopping off her locks for charity

Broughton S6 pupil Lucie Duffy is having her beautiful hair cut off next week to raise money for the educational charity Project Trust, which she will be working for in Ghana next year.
Lucie, who leaves Edinburgh in August to spend a year teaching, will be donating her hair to a children’s cancer charity for wigs and raising sponsorship money for Project Trust. Two of her male friends and a teacher at Broughton are also having their legs waxed at the same time!

You can find out more information here www.facebook.com/LucieInGhana or at www.projecttrust.org.

CV workshops – volunteers needed

Broughton High School runs workshops on CV writing and interview practice in May each year for a number of S4 pupils.

These will be happening on Thursday 11th May between 10am and 1pm and the school is looking for parents to volunteer to come in and help students develop their employability skills.

Additionally, between Monday 29 May and Friday 2 June, the school is trying to organise a number of different work visits for pupils, giving them the opportunity to visit a local workplace, in small groups of two or three, and help for an hour.

The aim is to increase their confidence and give them an additional item for their CV.

Please contact Aletta Ritchie at clerk.bhspc@broughtonhighpc.org if you can volunteer on 11th May or provide a work visit.
