Cumbernauld Academy Parent Council

Parent Council Meeting – Tonight (08/06/26)

A reminder that the Parent Council meeting will take place tonight at 5:15pm in the Conference Room.

All parents and carers are welcome to attend.

If you have any items you would like added to the agenda, please send a message before lunchtime today and we will do our best to include them.

I have put this one here hopefully you can see it. The high school will be sending this out on Friday by Groupcall. If your child is not at the high school yet then I can arrange for this to be emailed to you as well.

!!! NEWSFLASH !!!

The Parent Council and Mr Cairns, supported by an introduction from Adam Councillor Adam Smith - Cumbernauld East, have worked over recent months with Canavan Travel to establish a dedicated school bus service.

This service will operate at the start and end of the school day, Monday to Thursday, and at 12:30pm on Fridays. The route will run from Tesco Craigmarloch through Carrickstone, along and up St Andrews Drive, then via Cumbernauld Village to the high school.
The service will be free of charge for pupils who hold a valid Young Scot card. It will commence on the first day of the new school term in August.

This provision is intended for high school pupils, and assurances have been given that no child will be left waiting at a bus stop due to capacity issues.

Parents of current P7 pupils at Cumbernauld Primary are asked to share this information to ensure awareness.

Further details, including timetable information, will be confirmed nearer the start date. Mr Cairns will also include this update in his newsletter later this week.

Parent Council meeting Monday 27th April from 6:30 in the high school. All parents and carers of young people welcome. Alternatively if you would like anything added to the agenda please just email this page and we will add to the agenda.

✨ We Need Your Ideas & Your Vote! ✨

The Parent Council are looking at trying some new fundraising ideas this year instead of our usual Summer Fayre. We’re keen to boost engagement and raise as much funds for the school as we can, and we’d love your input 💛

Between now and the summer holidays, we’re thinking about:

🧁 A community Bake Sale
👕 A Vinted Sale (a great excuse for a clear out!)
🎉 And a fun evening event at a local venue

For the evening event all include a small buffet, music and a bar available, which would you be most interested in attending?

🥳 Party Night
🎱 Bounce Bingo Night
🏇 Race Night

Please vote in the poll below and comment with any other ideas you’d love to see!

The more engagement we have, the more we can raise for our children and the school so please like, share and tag friends 💬

Thank you for your continued support 💙

Parent Council Meeting Monday 23rd February from 6:30 in the high school. All parents and carers welcome.

Sharing on behalf of a Primary School Tutor in Cumbernauld.
