Since 2022, young people under 22 years old have been able to use their NEC for free bus travel. In the last year alone, over 3 million journeys have been made by Dundee cardholders. We are currently looking for the feedback of young people about the impact that this has had for them. We have launched the survey below and the responses will help us to understand if there has been a positive effect for young people and their families in Dundee.

Hello Everyone,

Thank you to everyone who attended our AGM and Meeting last night. Here are our office bearings for the next academic year-

Lisa Melrose- Chair

Alaa Garrad- Vice Chair

Kellie Bayliss- Vice Chair

Kirsty Marr- Clerk

The Minutes will be uploaded next week. In the mean time here are a couple of areas discussed.

Homework and Home Learning

Following our focus group last year and with the help of Shelley Grant the homework policy has been revisited and updated and honestly looks brilliant.

There is a table for every subject and every year group showing the expected homework and there will be a demerit and text message process put into place from August to keep parents/ carers in the loop.

We will reach out for your feedback in October as to how this process is working.

Out of Class- Supporting Learning for All

A process has been put into place to track how many and which young people are out of class regularly.

This is to ensure that every pupil in every lesson is achieving their full potential.

How can we as Parents and Carers help support our Young People and Our School?

Talk with your Child about being ready to learn

Encourage punctuality and routine

Stay in touch with your childs guidance teacher

Reinforce positive behaviours and engagement

Road Safety

Please in the interests of the safety of our Young People can Parents and Carers refrain from parking in the bus and taxi bays outside the school.

Please consider the health benefits both physical and mental of dropping young people 5 mins from school to walk.

Now all of the formalities of the AGM are finished we look forward to welcoming you all to our relaxed welcome gathering next term. An opportunity to meet other parents and carers, teachers and enjoy some nibbles!!

Please reach out with any questions at all harrisacademyparentcarervoice@gmail.com

Thank you

Lisa
