About the Parent Council
Parents and carers play a vital role in their child’s education. In recognition of this, the Scottish Schools (Parental Involvement) Act 2006 both encourages and supports more parents, working in partnership with the school, to be involved in their child’s education.
The main aims of this act are:
-
to help parents become more involved with their child’s education and learning
-
to welcome parents as active participants in the life of the school
-
to provide easier ways for parents to express their views and wishes
Castlemilk High School has a very active Parent Council, with a core group of around 12 parents, who meet every 6 weeks. Meetings are lively and informal, and focus on sharing information, ideas and concerns between parents and school.
