Check out today’s edition of the Evening Times. A 2 page article all about our new school and the official opening.  A great tribute to the late Dr Isobel Mair whom the school is named after. Dr Mair is fondly remembered in the local community and her memory is kept alive by the school and it’s fantastic facilities.

Isobel Mair School were delighted to welcome the Mair brothers  for the official opening of the new school.
Ranald Mair gave a very entertaining speech all about Dr Mair’s life and her involovement with the local community and the school and how delighted they were to still be involved after all these years.

During the official opeing today, Councillor Green spent some time with the children from the family centre and helped them officially launch the pirate ship.

Here are some of the pupils at the launch…..ooh arrrgh little pirate!

Hopefully the sun will shine and allow them to have some fun during outdoor learning.
