Survey response – Length of School Day
We know it’s easy for young carers to start feeling overwhelmed because of everything they need to do for their caring role on top of all their schoolwork and revising for exams. What young carers told us was that it doesn’t need to be this way. They think the things that would make them feel less overwhelmed, healthier and happier are:

Once more, we are planning to organise our Careers Convention following the lifting of Covid
restrictions. This event is a feature of our school calendar, with the venue alternating between
Penicuik High and Beeslack Community High School.
This year, the Convention will be held in Penicuik High School and all parents/carers in the
Penicuik area are invited to attend with their children to discuss career matters with experts.
This convention has traditionally attracted a wide range of consultants who give valuable advice
to parents and students on a range of occupations and further/higher education courses.
Invitations have been issued to universities, colleges, apprenticeship providers, service and
manufacturing industries, the armed forces and the professions, the intention being to provide
you and your child with a unique local opportunity to obtain advice on career pathways.
Whilst there may be some value in your child attending the Convention unaccompanied by an
adult, we believe that much greater advantage is likely to be derived from the evening if
students attend with parents/carers to find out more about the sort of opportunities available.
Admission tickets (free of charge) will be supplied to all those who wish to come along and are
available from Mrs Brandie in the Guidance Base. Students only need one ticket per family.
Should you wish any further information please contact Mrs Brandie at Penicuik High School.
