StJoseph's Milngavie

Campaigning for Community Partnership to Keep St Joseph's in Milngavie, preventing closure & securing a primary Catholic education close to home for our kids.

Speaking up for the women involved in the strike in Glasgow @carolynleckie writing in the @ScotNational reminds us that “Women’s work” has been taken for granted, demeaned & disrespected in the workplace and the home." https://t.co/kKUJu67YGy

[StJoseph's Milngavie @KeepStJoes]

It was certainly disappointing after 2 yrs of engagement & detailed business case to in the end only get a call from junior aide 5 mins before formal announcement made. Opportunity lost for @scotgov to do something different. Not only school closing next month but nursery too https://t.co/INSznjdEWb

@holyroodmandy @JeaneF1MSP @HolyroodDaily @JohnSwinney Tell that to the parents of @KeepStJoes whom he treated with utter contempt ...

[Natalie Hughes @Natm77Moore]

@KeepStJoes had my little ones P1 induction day at our amazing wee school, somebody has to stop this closure @joswinson #makeourkidsmatter

[StJoseph's Milngavie @KeepStJoes]

@snowthistle @kmckenna63 @BammiePam @Ninsypops @MrJohnNicolson Many from our community went to every related Council mtg for yrs.Also went to hundreds of Cllr surgeries. Not listened to..."effectively"

[StJoseph's Milngavie @KeepStJoes]

@kennymunro @kmckenna63 @MrJohnNicolson Putting aside our right to access catholic education, EDC told us no more room in local non-denom primaries. Shared campus also dismissed

[StJoseph's Milngavie @KeepStJoes]

@MrJohnNicolson @Ninsypops @BammiePam @kmckenna63 This isn't just about keeping our school open.We've been asking all parties to consider options to school all EDC kids in their communities

[Mawfred @Mawfred63]

@rhonddageekie @CllrSMcCabe @JohnSwinney What? The ones that close successful schools? @KeepStJoes

[StJoseph's Milngavie @KeepStJoes]

@joswinson @niallcampbell10 @apmcfadyen @theSNP @kmckenna63 Thanks Jo. Will DM separately. For clarity, our proposal isn't for a free school and can be implemented under existing legislation.

[Mawfred @Mawfred63]

@KeepStJoes @theSNP It would work best if shared campus. EDC should reconsider.

[StJoseph's Milngavie @KeepStJoes]

The window of opportunity is closing for us but there is still time for @thesnp to do the right thing & back our proposal https://t.co/dtlrTkUJmx

[Andrew McFadyen @apmcfadyen]

Time for @theSNP to back @KeepStJoes? They opted for an easy life when they could have been bold, argues @kmckenna63 https://t.co/6ApPFGDkOx

Delighted with coverage in today's @FT by @MureDickie about the fight to keep St Joseph's in Milngavie #communityempowerment

@MrJohnNicolson @Ninsypops @KeepStJoes @VickiRoger @mimipele @scotgov @theSNP We are running out of time and need a guarantee of swift action to protect our school and community.

[StJoseph's Milngavie @KeepStJoes]

@MrJohnNicolson @BammiePam @Ninsypops @VickiRoger @mimipele @scotgov @theSNP 2/2 We all remember M Henry at our school gates 5 yrs ago (on Election Day) telling parents /grandparents that she'd "protect the school"

[StJoseph's Milngavie @KeepStJoes]

@MrJohnNicolson @BammiePam @Ninsypops @VickiRoger @mimipele @scotgov @theSNP Great to hear you're a fan. Does this mean you're working to get Scottish Gov to at least proceed with our pilot? Words mean nothing..(1/2)

[StJoseph's Milngavie @KeepStJoes]

@MrJohnNicolson @Ninsypops There's 1 very obvious option the new administration cld explore & @JohnSwinney wants to devolve funding to schools.Time to do right thing

[JOHN NICOLSON 🇵🇸 🇺🇦 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🇪🇺 @MrJohnNicolson]

@BammiePam @Ninsypops @VickiRoger @mimipele @scotgov @KeepStJoes @theSNP Not the case Pam. Ian MacKay says he will readdress the issue & ask Council officers to examine every avenue available.

[I am Pam @BammiePam]

@MrJohnNicolson @Ninsypops @VickiRoger @mimipele @scotgov @KeepStJoes @theSNP Thanks John. We need this closure stopped for our kids/community and the local shops. We will lose our school/afterschool AND our nursery!

[StJoseph's Milngavie @KeepStJoes]

@MrJohnNicolson @Ninsypops @BammiePam @VickiRoger @mimipele @scotgov @theSNP This is positive but surely 1st action is to meet with community to discuss options that officers then explore-rather than other way round

[I am Pam @BammiePam]

@VickiRoger @KeepStJoes @MrJohnNicolson @Ninsypops Exactly...we've given options to save @KeepStJoes AND save money.
