A double bill of 200 Club draws this week, for July and August.  Congratulations to the lucky winners, who will get to top up their holiday funds now that the schools are back.

If you would like to help with the 200 Club (one evening per month) or sign up, e-mail Colin Gilbert at: 200Club@broughtonhighpc.org

Broughton High School Association are planning a parents’ social Quiz Night on Thursday 26th September at Dean Bowling Club, Comely Bank.

Full details are still to be confirmed, but you can start swotting now!  If you’d like to help out on the night, or with planning beforehand, please e-mail the BHSA team at: bhsassociation@gmail.com .

Never mind the Euromillions – who are the lucky winners of this month’s 200 Club draw?

Join the 200 Club to take part – minimum commitment is just £4 per month.  All profits are shared proportionately between the Broughton High School Association and Friends of Stockbridge Primary, raising valuable funds to support pupils.  To find out more or join the club, e-mail Colin Gilbert at: 200club@broughtonhighpc.org .

Congratulations to all of this month’s winners!

There is a lot for parents and carers to learn when their child starts High School!  We have set up a new FAQ page on the Parent Council website (broughtonhighpc.org) which will answer some of the questions people new to the school might have, e.g:

Who do I contact if I need to speak to someone about my child?

What are the different classes – tutor group, point and sets?

How will I find out about my child’s progress?

The school’s website, social media and the new app all provide information, but sometimes you just want to ask another parent!  Unlike at primary school, we don’t have the same opportunities to bump into each other at the school gate, so the PC have set up an e-mail service.  E-mail:

askaparent@broughtonhighpc.org

and a volunteer from the PC will do their best to help!  Obviously, they will not be able to comment re. individual pupils or staff, but they can offer advice from the parent’s point of view.

Many thanks to Claire Cowell and Lucy Mason, parents at the school, who have put a lot of effort into bringing these FAQs and the e-mail service together!

We have our last few events of the school year coming up:

Fundraising chess cafés –
Volunteers warmly welcomed at the chess cafés in the school hub on Sunday 2nd June and Sunday 16th June, 10-4pm.  If you can help for an hour on the day, please contact:

Parent Council meeting – 
All parents and carers are welcome to attend the last PC meeting of the term on Wednesday 5th June from 6pm.  Hear about the school’s plans for next year, meet other parents, and maybe sample some home baking….
