Our pre-lim diet continued today with N5 maths taking place. Over the next few weeks parents and carers will be facing a situation they have never faced before as our senior pupils gear up for these exams. In order to support them at home, staff at Marr College have created the following presentation, which is full of practical advice and help for our parents/carers on how to support and encourage all our young people at home. Everyone at Marr wishes all our senior pupils the best of luck over the coming weeks.

You can find the agenda here. In particular we need new committee members. Our chairperson is stepping down as her children finish their school journey, and we have not had a vice chair this year to step up. Please read what the committee roles entail, and we encourage you to consider joining us and putting yourself forward for a role. Anyone is welcome even if you do not know much about the school or parent council, we will support you all the way. And your fresh ideas (and faces) will be made very welcome. We would also welcome a volunteer to assist with the communication on social media, if anyone would like to offer their services !
