Dear all,
As the end of term is upon us, I would like to express my sincere thanks to pupils, staff, parents and carers for all your efforts in keeping learning and engagement going in these challenging times. We never imagined we would have an end of term like this! I will be in touch with you over the summer and please be assured that we have the plans in place to get us back to Linwood High when we are able to do so. More guidance will transpire as time goes on. To our S6 we haven’t said our last goodbyes yet and we will do so as soon as we can. For now I would like to wish all our pupils, staff, parents and families a restful summer.
Take care.

Due to the current circumstances this event has been moved to a virtual platform. The event is designed for female students in S4-S6 who have an interest in finding out more about the programmes offered in the Technology division of Morgan Stanley in Glasgow.

The event will give students the opportunity to participate in interactive challenges, panel sessions and also find out more about opportunities at Morgan Stanley, insight weeks, apprenticeship programmes and graduate level opportunities.

If you are interested, please email Mr McKenna, Ms Cowan or Mrs Peters - their email addresses can be found on the Learning @ Home Information Letter.

We have been collecting examples of some of the work pupils have been doing at home during lockdown and putting these into a gallery.  Some of our latest examples are these Schiltron Spears from S2 ​who have been studying The Scottish Wars of Independence and learning about William Wallace.

Our fantastic Pupil Support Team have been busy creating these Positivity/Mindfulness Boxes to support their pupils during lockdown.  Boxes have been delivered to pupils this week. #RNRA

Earlier this month, Renfrewshire Council asked parents and carers to submit their questions on schools and nurseries. Thank you to everyone who took part, there was a phenomenal response with more than 1,000 questions. 
Your most-asked questions were put to Steven Quinn, Director of Children’s Services, which you can see at www.renfrewshire.gov.uk/coronavirus-schools. You can also find answers to many more questions there too.
Thank you for your continued patience and support for our school during this difficult time. We hope to see you back in our school as soon as it is safe to do so.
