Minister for Local Government and Housing, Kevin Stewart and East Ayrshire Councillor, Douglas Reid attended the opening ceremony of the new housing development at Hill Street, Kilmarnock. The development itself will consist of affordable housing units. The event was attended by pupils from Kilmarnock Academy, Hillhead primary and St Joseph’s Academy who were involved in painting the hoarding around the perimeter of the site. They were awarded with a £250 cheque each by Cunninghame Housing Association Ltd for their efforts; this was presented to the art and design teachers and pupils at the event by SNP Minister Kevin Stewart.

The Kilmarnock Academy section of the mural was designed and created by S3 and S4 art & design pupils and our school was represented at the event by S3 pupils McKenzie Alston, Nicole Bulloch and S4 pupils Kerryanne Ferries, Robyn Riddell & Karra Pope.

Well done to all the pupils involved!
