The School Pupil Council was pleased to welcome Michelle McRobert and David MacMillan from Dalbeattie Community Initiative who gave us an update on plans for our old school. The project has a working title of Rocks and Wheels. The plans involve a climbing wall and outdoor cycle skills track which can be lit in the evenings. The concept is to build on what Dalbeattie has to offer-  granite and mountain biking together with lots of other activities and to celebrate its natural and historical heritage. There are also plans for hostel style accommodation. We were also  delighted to have it announced today, at our end of term awards ceremony, that Millie Hird’s design has been chosen as the winning entry for the log which will be featured on the new website page for the project. We are grateful to Mrs Harris for organising this competition which involved the other cluster primaries also. Several children’s entries were shortlisted, including our own Aimee Ho and Lily Henderson with Dalbeattie’s Millie Hird chosen as the overall winner.
