Journey to Ogilvie

Hi Folks

Welcome to the ‘Journey to Ogilvie’ Section of our recently updated school website.

This section of the website will mirror content from our Journey to Ogilvie Twitter account (@OgilvieTo) which was created during the initial period of lockdown in 2020.  Thankfully, we now able to run our transition programme without having to rely on technology and social media.  However, given that the Twitter accounts proved so popular, we will continue to use the platform to keep parents/ carers up to date with any news relevant to their son or daughter starting with us in S1

Many thanks to those of you who are already following us on Twitter.  Please spread the word to anyone who may not be aware of it as I will use this as the first port of call when putting out any new information.

It is not my intention to respond to particular queries via this platform.  I am hopeful that any questions you may have will be answered in the messages I put out or via this section in the school website.  If you do have a concern that is specific to your son/daughter then my email address can be found in the ‘contact us’ section of the web site.

We are in the process of updating some of our original content now that social distancing, face masks and one way systems are thankfully no longer required.  In the coming weeks and months you can look forward to

·         A virtual tour of the school

·         Some views and opinions of our S1 Pupils who may have some advice for you!

·         A message from some of the teachers you will be working with at STJOHS

·         Some resources/ links to refer to help you prepare for the work you will be doing when you are a pupil here.

 I will also try to ensure that there is support and guidance for parents as we progress through the transition process.  Having gone through it myself for the first time 6 years ago and undergoing it again this time last year, I appreciate the challenges that are coming your way!!!!!! I am sure that by continuing to work together we can ensure the coming weeks and months are as positive as possible!
