Following a meeting with the Quadrant Committee on Thursday 30 October, we have approved a design (visual and narrative) by a company called Tree-ditions. Pupils will also be involved in the creation of the school’s story on the Totem Pole and also in some of the planting up of the garden itself. Once finished, by May at latest, this will become an outdoor classroom, which various subjects across the school will put to good use for learning and teaching. The design has been based around being eco-friendly and sustainability. Exciting times!
Thank you to all who contributed to the group or fed back to us on the designs.

Consent forms for the Flu vaccine were sent home with your child several weeks ago. It’s very important to complete, sign and return the form ASAP, even if you don’t want your child to get vaccinated. The vaccine is given once a year. Flu viruses are constantly changing, so a different vaccine has to be made every year to ensure the best protection against flu. The vaccination session will take place at Knox on Monday 18 November. Meadowpark vaccinations will take place on 1 October 2024. For more information visit nhsinform.scot/childflu.
