Update from the Head Team
Hello, James here again, we have been very busy at Kelso High School this week. Our S2/S3 Junior Hockey Team won their first round Scottish Schools Challenge Cup match against Marr College with a score of 5-2, well done girls! We also had a successful S1 & S6 Halloween Buddy Social – courtesy of the Buddy Committee – on Wednesday night that was a hugely enjoyable evening with lots of music, party games and full of great costumes!

Clock Off Update
The purpose of this study is to develop and refine a peer-led school-based programme to reduce night-time interactive electronic device and social media use among young people.
Our S1 students have successfully completed a full-year group survey in collaboration with field officers from the University of Glasgow. Following this, a selection process was conducted to choose peer mentors.
The mentors have now completed two training sessions, with an additional two sessions, this month, to be conducted by the charity Sleep Action.
Flu Immunisations
The NHS immunisation team will be in school next Thursday to give the flu vaccine to all those who have handed in a completed consent form. A large number of pupils have not returned their consent forms, please ensure your young person has handed theirs in to the school office.
Scottish Government Cycling Opportunity for all KHS Learners
Don’t have a bike or have a bike that is currently broken or unsafe? The Scottish Government have funded an initiative to provide a bicycle – free of charge – to any learner who either does not currently have a bike or whose bike is in a state of disrepair. If you feel your child would benefit from this amazing opportunity, please ask them to see Mr Dalziel (room 2004) to register their interest.
Thank you to our S6 Buddy Committee
