Nominations for the Community Council Elections 2026 will open on 17 August and close on 2 September.

Community Councils are the most local tier of statutory representation in Scotland, made up of volunteers - people just like you - who care about their area and want to make it better.

They are different from the UK Government, the Scottish Government, or your local council.  They don’t make laws or run public services.

A community council is non-party political in all its work.  Examples of activities they may undertake include, holding regular meetings; making representations on planning applications; organising events; running projects and carrying out community engagement.  Most importantly, they make sure the voice of local people is heard.

Individuals aged 16 and over and resident in the community council area and named in the Electoral Register for that area may stand for election to a community council or vote in a community council election.

Each Community Council may nominate up to five additional youth members (age 14 and over) as set out in the Scheme to represent the views of young people in the community.  Youth members will have full voting rights and will be counted in terms of meeting a quorum.

Local democracy is as important now as it has ever been – be part of it.

Water Safety Scotland Heatwaves and warm weather ‘mini’ toolkit Heatwaves and warm weather are a core topic within Water Safety Scotland (WSS)’s prevention toolkit and are likely to occur in Spring and Summer in Scotland.

The definition of a heatwave in Scotland is when a location records at least three consecutive days with maximum temperatures above 25°C, however, impacts from heat can be felt for periods shorter than this. The Met Office provides further details and advice:

UK and Global extreme events – Heatwaves - Met Office.

Climate change is causing extremes in temperatures that we are unaccustomed to in Scotland, and the consequences that WSS are concerned about is how people may cool down in the hot weather.

Reservoirs, rivers and lochs might appear inviting for a quick cool down but there are many hidden dangers such as strong currents and cold water shock with consequences that can be fatal.

Key message:

Heatwaves and warm weather can be a critical issue for water safety in the summer as the warm air temperature can entice people to submerge themselves in water to cool down. Reservoirs, rivers and lochs might appear inviting for a quick cool down but there are many hidden dangers such as strong currents and cold water shock with consequences that can be fatal.

Assets: Specific assets have been created for this package.

These include:

• Social media assets (detailed below)

• One short video of key advice that can be shared across social media

• Press release template partners can use if required

Unfortunately, we have also heard from residents on Grange Road that some pupils waiting for the bus there continue to display anti-social behaviour including throwing items across the road, and going into gardens.

Vaccines for Young People in 2026

Vaccinations will be starting across Scotland for young people in secondary school. All young people in S1 and S3 are offered the HPV, MenACWY and DTP vaccines which protect them against serious diseases, such as meningitis and different cancers.

These vaccines are usually delivered in schools between January and April. Young people who are educated at home or not in mainstream school are also eligible, and can speak to their local NHS immunisation team to arrange a vaccination. To help teachers and school staff, an information sheet with more information about these vaccinations is available.

In addition, a suite of assets are available to support local delivery and encourage uptake. This includes a new ‘what to expect on vaccination day’ video which can be downloaded to be shown in classrooms and assemblies, or used on your social media channels. The video has been co-produced with young people to show what it’s like to get vaccinated in school. It aims to inform and address some of the key questions young people may have about vaccination day. The videos are also available on YouTube as a long version and a short version.

A range of resources are available on the PHS website for you to access or download including the informed consent leaflets, posters and videos.

Chat.Sign.Protect campaign resources are also available on the PHS Marketing Resource Centre. This includes a social media toolkit with assets and captions to share across your social media channels as well as email, SMS and website templates for use within school communities.

Your support is greatly appreciated.

Since returning after the holidays we have received a number of complaints from local residents. One is about parents dropping off/ picking up pupils in Wemyss Crescent which is causing difficulties eg parking on zig zag lines or over drive ways. Another is about pupils dropping litter at lunchtime as they return from the local shops eg Dalhousie garage, Panmurefield and Barnhill shops. As a school we would ask that pupils and parents give due consideration and respect to the community in these matters.

My name is Jillian Pearson and I am reaching out from the Department of Psychology at the University of Edinburgh, working with Prof Aja Murray. We are currently running a project looking at the “Daily life experiences of young people with ADHD” and are inviting young people between 11-14 years old with a diagnosis of ADHD from around the UK to take part.

We would be very grateful if you could share the study poster (attached) with families of young people with ADHD in your school.  The project is run remotely, so there is no expectation for further action from your team beyond sharing the attached information.

We believe it is crucial to have a wide representation of young people’s experience with ADHD and that is why are contacting schools in the area of Angus Council to ask if it would be possible to share the study poster.

About the project:

The study aims to learn more about how daily life experiences - like stress, anxiety, peer relationships, physical activity, and emotional regulation - impact the mental health of young people with ADHD. The insights from this research will inform the development of future health interventions to better support young people with ADHD beyond pharmacological treatments.

Parents/guardians and young people complete online surveys

Young people work with our study app for 2 weeks answering short questions

Compensation voucher of up to £30 for their time

The project has received ethical approval from the Ethics Committee at the University of Edinburgh and NHS/IRAS approval.

More information about the study can be found on our website: https://mhim-adhd.github.io/Study/

Thank you for your time. If you have any questions or would like to arrange a call, please feel free to reach out.

SCHOOL INSPECTIONS ARE CHANGING – SHAPE WHAT’S NEXT CHIEF EXECUTIVE

A national public consultation on the future of school inspections in Scotland has been launched.

HMIE are keen to gather a wide range of perspectives on the current inspection process and how inspections should evolve.

The current phase aims to broaden the scope of participation to children and young people, parents, carers, and members of the wider public.

Please see below two links to access the questionnaires.

The first link is for parents and carers and the second is for learners.

The consultation is open until Wednesday 26 November 2025 and your support in completing this consultation is very much appreciated.

Thank you for your support.

Yours sincerely

Anti-social behaviour within the wider community

Anti-social behaviour within the wider community

# data[].attributes.body
A number of residents within our school community have been in touch regarding anti-social behaviour within the wider community, typically during lunchtimes.

Specific areas which have been impacted include :

Route to McDonalds & Ethiebeaton Park

Mortimer Drive and Milton Mill areas (near the Premier), Kerrington Crescent,

Barnhill shops

Panmurefield Shops

There have also been reports of antisocial behaviour on the local bus services.

It is important that all pupils demonstrate our school values when in the community, disposing of any litter in a responsible manner.

Mrs Welsh and I have previously visited the Premier shops area and members of SLT are likely to visit other areas where pupils are known to visit.

It should also be noted that it is not permissible for energy drinks to be brought into the school building.

We are currently reviewing the entrance and exit of the school.

Can I ask parents/carers to avoid using the bus bay to pick up/drop off as well as using it as a turning area. The buses are arriving at the designated bus bay and will wait there until 08:55. This means they need access to reverse and exit the bus bay.

Thanks for your understanding with this.

Mr Farrell
