Rotary Quiz
Congratulations to the P7 quiz team of Angus Gibson, Rob Pointer, Noah Storstein and Olivia Douglas who won
the Highland Perthshire Rotary Quiz at the recent competition. The team will continue onto the next round of the
competition in Stirling later this month.
Breakfast Club
At the Special Council meeting of 11 February on setting the Councils budget for 2016-19, it was agreed that the
current subsidy supporting Breakfasts Clubs would be reduced and the service charges adjusted accordingly.
Consequently, charges will increase to £2 for all pupils from Tuesday 16 August 2016. There will be no free places
irrespective of free school meal entitlement.
It is worth understanding that free places and subsidised charging have been maintained by Perth and Kinross
Council for 5 years now. The real positive is that we have still got a Breakfast Club service to offer you.
The club operates from 8am each school day until school starts. It provides a nutritious breakfast selection, good
social atmosphere, participation in informal activities and, as such, is a great start to the school day.
The Breakfast Club will not normally require you to reserve places as it works on a drop-in basis. Accordingly it is
your responsibility for the child’s safe arrival into the school. Please note that school absence procedures will not
be active until normal class time begins.
We look forward to your child(ren) being able to continue to enjoy Breakfast Club.
Please note there is no increase to school lunch prices or impact on free school lunch entitlement (including all P1P3 pupils) as a result of this change.
