Happy Friday Everyone!

We thought we would end the week with a sneaky peek at our new school and some of our lovely mosaics! We visited Barony Campus last week with Fiona McGregor the mosaic artist who was working with children and families prior to lockdown on a fantastic creative project to be installed in the new building. Children and families created pieces of art incorporating things that are special to them as individuals and Fiona has been busy turning these into individual mosaic pieces to be installed in the new building as well as restoring an existing historical piece originally created by previous  pupils. These items will help us to take some of Hillside’s history and loving family ethos with us to our new school where we will be ready to make lots of new memories and Hillside stories!  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We hope you’ll agree they are just fantastic! During our visit Fiona worked with the architects to look at where it would be best to put each mosaic and we cannot wait till this is all in place and everyone gets to see it all! Remember that the project is still ongoing so if your child hasn’t been involved yet don’t worry – that will be happening very soon!

Now here is the sneaky peek at some of our new school – the soft play and sensory room were just amazing to see and the space in our classrooms and teaching areas will be so beneficial for all our pupils.

We will let you see more photos over the coming weeks and there will be the chance for a Parent Council representative to visit in October and feedback to all parents as well as share any photos at this point. It is all so exciting! We are definitely on the countdown now – only 11 weeks to go! We will keep you all posted! In the meantime have a lovely weekend
