DECEMBER 2005 Dear Parent, CHRISTMAS SERVICE In recent years there have been difficulties both with seating and noise. These matters have been drawn to the attention of the school and the School Board. The issue of seating arrangements for the service was discussed at the School Board Meeting held last Wednesday and at a subsequent visit to the Church attended by members of the Board. A number of changes have consequently been made this year. These are: Each family will receive two tickets along with this letter which will allow them in to priority seating in the church. This should ensure that each family has two good seats from which to view the service. Please look after these tickets carefully and remember to take them with you to the service. An area of the church will also be available for those individuals who do not have a priority ticket. Parents are asked not to bring children who are not yet of nursery age. The church doors will not open until 6.00pm. I attach relevant information on Highland council�s policy of filming or photography at school events. In line with the guidance issued by the Director, Headteachers should therefore confirm to parents that they must advise the school if they do not wish their child to be photographed or filmed by any spectator or member of an audience at a school event. If any parental objection is received then unofficial photography/filming should not be allowed. Please advise me if you have any such objection. I hope these new arrangements for the Christmas service will ensure a fairer footing for all parents who attend the service. WINNING SCHOOL AIM As well as a central display of this statement, each classroom will also display this overall aim. The pupils will shortly be involved in producing some illustrations of the school achieving this aim. Congratulations to Mrs Falconer who wins a �10 Woolworths token for her winning entry.
