Dear Parent/Carer, 

Further to previous communications in regards to strike action, I can now advise that two further days of strike action on 28 February and 1 March 2023 have been declared by the Educational Institute of Scotland (EIS), the Association of Head Teachers and Deputes Scotland (AHDS), Scottish Secondary Schools Association (SSTA) and National Association of Schoolmasters/Union of Women Teachers (NASUWT). We are anticipating that the above action will go ahead and all services affected have discussed the impact that this action will have on the health and safety of our children and young people given that there will be a significantly reduced number of teaching staff, including those in leadership positions in our schools and Early Learning and Childcare settings. Please see letter issued from Nicola McDowell , dated 20 February 2022, for further details. 

There will be a raffle at our Diversity Evening (this Thursday 9 February 2023), on behalf of our Parent Council/PTA, to raise funds for the school.

There will be many prizes but they include Vouchers or products from:

• Castle Park Golf Course (4 ball)
• Beech and Birch
• Raven Botanicals
• East Lothian Flower Farm
• Scottish Assault Course, clay pigeon shoot for 2
• Lewis and Clarke, afternoon tea
• Lanterne Rouge, afternoon tea
• Natasha Phoenix Sculpture and Ceramics product
• Liz Earle beauty products
