Pupils past and present joined Dundee’s Lord Provost John Letford in a special assembly to celebrate Dens Road primary school’s centenary today.
Doris Hoskins and Ronald Watt, who were both at the school from 1937 to 1944, met the current classes and shared their memories of school life.
Today’s assembly kicked off a year of celebration and learning in which all the children from nursery to primary seven will complete projects relating to the school’s history and the past 100 years.
Educaiton convener Liz Fordyce and head of primary education Lena Waghorn also attended the assembly.
THe school’s nursery teacher Elaine Taylor appealed for any former pupils who want to take part in the centenary celebrations to ring her on 01382 436383 or write to the pupil council at Dens Road Primary, 77 Dens Road, DD3 7HY.
The school plans to compile a centenary picutre book throughout the year.
Great to here about your 100 yrs celebrations. Hopefully the pupils from St Andrew’s can help you celebrate.
Great work. Really looking forward to following this.
