S1 Medical Forms and Medication
S1 medical forms have been issued to pupils, could I please ask that you return these ASAP with the medication.  We have a whole school sponsored walk on Friday, 28 September 2018, and the forms and medication must be in school before this.  It is imperative if your child has a medical condition that requires medication e.g. Asthma, we need to have an inhaler in school for them.
