An extra long weekend for pupils here at Hardgate, due to huge amounts of snow and drifts, proved to be fun all round. School was closed on Friday 22nd and Monday 25th of March due to the non-stop snow from early on Friday and all the way through to Saturday. This was followed by major drifting problems causing roads all round about us to be blocked. On monday morning we had help from the council to clear all our accesses and allow pupils to return to school on Tuesday. We all took advantage of the snow to have fun as this is really quite an unusual event here to have so much.
