Maths in Hospitality

Last Tuesday, our DYW school coordinator hosted a session designed to support S2 students to gain experience of mathematics in hospitality.

Grant from Cru Hospitality designed and delivered the session including cocktails, batching and rations, recipe creation and profitability, maximising sales (geometry) and rota planning.

The activity was a success, resulting in tasty mocktails and a better understanding of mathematics in context.

Prelims & Date Changes

Prelims
Today’s prelim will go ahead- possibly with a slight delay until we are confident that those who are coming have arrived. Pupils who cannot make it into school will be given another date on which they can sit their Prelim- their teacher will advise them next week.

S2 Parents Evening has been rescheduled for Wednesday 24th January. If you have appointments these will automatically be carried forward to next Wednesday, but if you need to make or cancel appointments, the system has opened again and will remain open until Monday evening.

S2 into S3 Course Choice deadline will be postponed by one week and will now be Friday 26th January.

School Open: Thursday 18 January

THURSDAY 18 JANUARY – SCHOOL IS OPEN TODAY

The Nairnside D&E Service has been cancelled and will not run this morning due to difficult road conditions.

Stagecoach warn that conditions around Croy/Tornagrain/Clephanton are difficult. These buses will run subject to delay. Pupils are reminded that they should not wait more than 20 minutes for a bus…if it hasn’t turned up within that time they should return home.

Severe Weather Information

We had a few pupils and parents venture in to school this morning and we are keen to minimise unnecessary journeys in these conditions. Can we therefore remind all parents that the first system we update is the winter weather school phone line which can be contacted at:

0800 564 2272 with Culloden’s unique pin code of 041000.

Generally that will be updated by 7.20am. Immediately afterwards we update Facebook and the school website’s News section. The Council’s school closure website does not begin taking information from schools until 8 am and so the absence of information about the school on it, should not be taken as confirmation that we are open.

Temperatures and snowfall mean that tomorrow’s opening is not certain but we will, through the channels above, get information to you as early as possible.
