Welcome to session 2024-25 (added 12.08.24)  
Here's hoping you had a fantastic summer and managed to enjoy yourselves whatever you managed to do.  Six weeks comes and goes in a blink of an eye.

Staff had a good first day back today and are looking forward to seeing the children on Wednesday.

We are delighted to welcome Mr. Lindsay back to our staffing on a temporary basis during Mrs. Rasul's maternity leave. 

Please see below a few organisational details for this week:

Breakfast Club:
Breakfast club will resume on Wednesday (8.15 am - 8.45 am) for Primary 2-7 children.  Primary 1 children can start using the Breakfast club from Thursday onwards.

Children should be dropped off at the canteen door next to the gate into the playground.

Primary 1 arrangements:
We are very much looking forward to our new cohort of Primary 1 children starting Hunter on Wednesday.  It was lovely to meet them at the induction days in June.  The first day of school has almost arrived.

Primary 1 children will have a shorter day on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday this week to allow the children settle in to their new school and routines.

On Wednesday ONLY we ask Primary 1 pupils to be dropped off between 9.30 am and 9.45 am by a parent/carer.  Parents/carers can enter the playground area just before 9.30 am and make their way to the classroom playground doors.  Classroom doors are numbered '1' and '2'.

Parents/carers are most welcome to come into the classroom and take some photos - crying welcome, usually it's the dads!

We ask parents/carers to leave the classroom promptly by 9.45 am.

At the end each school day, Primary 1 children should be collected by a parent/carer at 2.45 pm on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.  Again, collection will be from the playground classroom door.

Thursday 15th and Friday 16th:
Primary 1 children can attend Breakfast club (8.15 -8.45 am) and will attend school from 9.00 am - 2.45 pm.

Primary 1 children can be dropped off at the playground gate prior to 9.00 am.  Primary 7 big buddies and Support Staff will be on hand to help them into school and show them to their classroom line.

At the end of the day, Davy the janitor will open the playground gate at 2.40 pm approximately.  Parents/carers can assembly in the playground for 2.45 pm.

From Monday 19th onwards Primary 1 children will be in school 9.00 am - 3.00 pm.


School Lunches - All pupils
A reminder that we are still on the current lunch menu.  School meals are free to pupils in Primary 1-5.  Unless entitled to a free school meal, pupils in Primary 6 and 7 are charged £2.17 per meal.  Payment should be made via your child's ParentPay.  Milk for all pupils is 30p. 

PLEASE NOTE: Children who would like milk (P1-7), please ensure this is paid for via ParentPay each day (30p per day).  Children who are entitled to a free school meal - there is no charge.
* Primary 1 parents/carers, information regarding sign up to ParentPay will be issued shortly.  Please contact the office if your child would like milk in the meantime.

Welcome to Hunter Primary Parent Council.  My name is Angela Miller and I am the Parent Council Chairperson.  Please see below some information on the Parent Council. 

What is the Parent Forum?
Every parent / carer with a child in Hunter Primary School is automatically a member of the Parent Forum which enables you to join the Parent Council.

What is the Parent Council?
The Parent Council is a formal group with a constitution and is there to act as the Parent Voice of our school.  
Our Parent Council puts a huge focus on the children and what we can do to make their time at school as engaging and fun as possible.  The key element of being able to do this is the great relationship that exists between the Council and the school staff.

The Council members are a friendly approachable bunch who organise events throughout the year which are great fun for our children but also very successful in raising funds for the school.  These funds provide learning opportunities for the children whether that be through IT equipment or school trips.

We openly welcome new members to join us and even if you are unable to attend the Parent Council meetings if you can help in any aspect of our activities, we would love to hear from you.

How can you help?
In any way that you can!  Everyone helps out as little or as much as they can.  You could help by attending all or some of our meetings to help us plan events and come up with new ideas.


You could volunteer to help with the planning of an event out with the meeting times at a time that is convenient for you.  You could volunteer as a helper at the events.  You could help with donations for our raffles and prizes throughout the year.  Maybe you have a particular skill that would be helpful. Or you work for a company that would be a great contact for us when organising events.  There are so many ways that you can get involved to help to make a success of our Parent Council.
 
The fact that you are a parent / carer means that your voice matters in Education and the Parent Council is a great opportunity for you to become more involved and get to know more about Hunter Primary School.

Our current post holders are:
Chairperson – Angela Miller
Vice Chairperson & Secretary – Laura Luxton
Treasurer – Leigh Robertson

Get in touch
You can get in touch with the Parent Council at any time, either through our Facebook page – Hunter Primary Parent Council or via email 
hunterprimaryparents@gmail.com

I hope you will consider participating in the Council at some point in your child’s time at Hunter.  The work of the Parent Council really can’t be done without you.
