Port Elphinstone School Parent Council

31/08/2026

Hello Everyone!!!

We will be holding the EGM on Tuesday 8th September 2026 at 6pm at the school, alternatively you can attend online via teams if you can’t be there in person (A link will be sent out by the school prior to the meeting).
As a parent council, we truly need your support now more than ever 🙏. We currently have only a very small number of parents on our Parent Council and we would love to have fresh faces coming in to bring fresh ideas to the group! Without new parents joining the council, it cannot legally continue to run 😳.
The planned events that we put on each year help to fundraise for the school and nursery to provide our pupils with school trips, new resources and essential equipment. Without the help from The Parent Council, our school wouldn’t be able to afford to provide these things.
If you can come along on Tuesday, please leave a comment and I will make sure we will have a seat looked out for you/ that you receive a link to the meeting! If you can’t attend this week but would like to come along next time, please also leave a comment.
Thank you!
Jennifer Shaw
(Acting Chair of the Parent Council)

Massive thank you to everyone who came along to our Summer BBQ today!
The sun showed up, the food was delicious, and it was such a lovely afternoon. Hope you all had a brilliant time ☀️🍔🌭.

Huge thanks as well to J.G. Ross (Bakers) Limited and Tesco for your donations — so appreciated and very much enjoyed.

And lastly, a big thank you to our amazing Parent Council and teachers, who gave up their time to organise and support such a great day 💛.

Hi all,

We can’t wait to see you all on Friday for our School BBQ!

A quick heads‑up that it’s a cash‑only event.

It’s shaping up to be a brilliant day — fingers crossed for sunshine! 🌞🎉

Hi everyone!

Hi everyone!

We’re getting organised for our upcoming BBQ, which will include a raffle stand, and we’d absolutely love your help 🎉

We’re looking for donations of bottles, drinks, and chocolate — juice, fizzy, wine, spirits, sweet treats… anything that would make a fun raffle prize 🍾🥤🍫

If you’re able to donate, please drop items at the school office or hand them to any Parent Council member.

Thank you so much — your support really does make these events extra special
