Welcome to our PARENT FORUM!

All parents and carers of the students of Speyside High School make up The Speyside Parent Forum.

We need as many people involved as possible. Everyone is appreciated, no matter how small you feel your contribution can be.

Please come and join us!

SPEYSIDE HIGH SCHOOL PARENT COUNCIL

Speyside High School’s Parent Council has been in existence since August 2007, replacing the previous School Board, under the terms of the Parental Involvement Act.
The Key purpose of the Parent Council is to ensure that parents and carers are involved in and consulted about the life of the school as much as possible. We aim to involve and support parents and carers as best we can, to help the whole school community.

The Parent Council meets at least once each term. The Parent Council members and office bearers are elected at the Speyside Parent Forum Meeting and Parent Council AGM each September.

Members include:

At least 6 parents or carers, chosen from the Parent Forum
Two senior students, two members of staff, at least one of them a teacher, and one other member of the community
The Head Teacher, in an advisory capacity.
The Moray Councillors for Speyside will be invited to attend each meeting.
The input of EVERYONE involved is very much valued.

THE CURRENT COUNCIL

Due to the difficulties of the past year and the fact that membership of the council in the previous year was largely made up of parents of students who have now left, a Speyside High School Parent Forum meeting did not occur to choose council members until January 2021. An interim set of co-officers is currently working on re-igniting the flame of the Parent Council.

Co-Chairs	Elidh Myrvang-Brown & Liz Egan
Co-Treasurers	Eleanor Bradford
Secretary:	Lee Charlesworth
Members:	Rebecca Kendrick Esther Burns Ruth Kenned Rob Aylward

MEETINGS

The geographical area SHS covers obviously makes attending in-person meetings hard for some. During the 2020/21 school year online meetings allowed parents to be involved, who might in normal times have found it difficult to attend or take part in Parent Council and Parent Forum meetings.

When in-person meetings are allowed to re-start, we may still keep the option for those interested to attend via an online meeting in order to allow a greater proportion of the Parent Forum to take part in the Parent Council and Speyside Parent Forum.

Meetings are currently being held via Zoom or Microsoft Teams. If you do not have the app on your computer or Mobile, links to download the app are:

If you would like to attend a meeting and are not already a member of the Parent Council, please email us at: shs_parent_council@outlook.com and request an invitation.
