On Saturday 24 June and Sunday 25 June, Broughton High School is hosting the UK Chess Challenge Scottish Gigafinal http://www.ljc.org.uk/new-events

This event provides a great opportunity to raise money for the school fund by running a cafe for participants and their parents over the two days. The school fund pays for things that would not normally be covered by the School or the Council e.g. the S1 school ties, sports strips, school trips and other educational activities. We’ve had a number of requests for funding recently and so we really need to raise more money. 

To make this event a success we need as many volunteers as possible, to help with the cafe and to provide home baking. 

If you can spare an hour or two between 9am and 3.30pm and/or can provide home baking, please add your name to the rota (link below) or reply to this email. 

Please forward this email to any other parents who might be able to help out.

If you haven’t helped at the cafe before, it involves serving hot drinks, juice, home baking, soup and rolls. We take cash but we also have a card machine.  It’s not a demanding job and is a great opportunity to meet other parents!

Chair of the Broughton High School Association

The Parent Council are hosting a Zoom call for anyone whose P7 child is planning to come to Broughton High in August. A chance to ask questions of parents whose children are currently at the school. Moving up to high school is a big moment for parents as well as young people – we understand that and no question is too small for us to consider.

Thursday 18th May at 6.30pm on Zoom.

To book a place and get the joining information, email Emily and Jane at: intouch@broughtonhighpc.org .

If you can’t attend the meeting but have a question, just send us an email. You might also find the FAQs page on our website useful: https://broughtonhighpc.org/frequently-asked-questions-for-new-parents-carers-at-broughton-high/

Broughton High School Association meeting – 7.30pm on Wednesday 3rd May. Please note the change of day! We meet in-person at The Place (Rugby Club cafe on Raeburn Place, just round the corner from the school).

We will be discussing the chess cafes in June and ideas for future fundraising.

BHSA events and initiatives have benefited every single pupil at Broughton, from paying for S1 school ties to essential Modern Languages equipment, the school garden, support for sports teams and much more.

Our meetings are friendly and informal and we would love to see some new faces there! We are keen to get parents from S1-S4 involved in running our events and coming up with new ideas.

For more information please email Lesley at: bhsassociation@gmail.com.

All parents and carers of young people at Broughton High are welcome to attend this online PC meeting on Zoom. We would love to see you – everyone on the Parent Council brings something different and unique and we always welcome new voices who share our passion for the school, our young people, and the community that we are at the heart of.

The meeting will include an update from the headteacher and from the Senior Leadership Team.

Joining details and the agenda will be sent out to everyone on our mailing list this week– if you don’t receive them, please email us at: intouch@broughtonhighpc.org to request the Zoom code.

Broughton High School Association are running a fundraising cafe at a chess competition Sunday at the school. It’s going to be a big event, with up to 200 young chess players attending, so we could do with some more offers of home baking. 

If you are able to do some baking, please bring it to the School (Hub area) on the morning of Sunday 26 March (any time from 9.30am). No nuts please. Vegan and gluten free items appreciated too (please label).

If you would prefer to drop off baking some time on Saturday 25 March, please email Lesley at: bhsassociation@gmail.com to make an arrangement.

All our Broughton High School Association events raise money which goes to a wide range of projects across the school. Every donation helps!
