Many thanks
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.
Skills Development Scotland national webinar for parents and carers on the options and support available for school leavers
As part of Scottish Careers Week, Skills Development Scotland (SDS) has a nationwide online session for parents and carers covering options and support available for school leavers on Wednesday 17 November at 6.30pm. Parents and carers can find out more about the range of options available for their young person as they prepare to leave school and how parents and carers can support them. SDS Careers Advisers will be providing expert advice and there will be opportunities for parents and carers to ask questions during the session. Help is also available on SDS’s online home for career information and advice My World of Work. Please register for the event here: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/school-leaver-options-tickets-195981003457 Find out more about Scottish Careers Week. Please see below an invitation from our Parent Council to attend the annual AGM and monthly meeting.
On the 6th October we will have the Parent Council AGM and monthly meeting. We eagerly wish to recruit some new faces to bring fresh ideas and perspectives along to our meetings. 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 ! With the ever changing guidelines surrounding self isolation and testing we have compiled a Covid-19 Flow chart for parents/carers to help them know whether their son/daughter should attend school or not, please find it below. .

Please click here to complete an enquiry form to discuss any queries resulting from the provisional grades pupils have received in June 2021. As schools finish for the summer break on Friday 25th June, staff will endeavour to respond by the end of this week and if not then by Thursday 12th August. 
The last year has been challenging to say the least, especially for every pupil going through the process of applying for University and college.
Although the exams or assessment have been very different this year, the UCAS process remains the same (with the exception of a few deadline extensions) For many of you it will be a very worrying and anxious time, as you will receive your provisional grades at some point during the week beginning the 21st of June. You will then have to wait until the 10th of August to receive your official results from the SQA, as normal. Universities will also have to wait until the 10th of August to receive your results. It can be a very worrying time, making decision about your next steps and what to do with any offers you have received from university over the summer. Hopefully, this presentation will help better prepare you to make these decisions, by giving you a bit more information about what your options are and how you can begin to prepare to apply via Extra or Clearing. |
