We are all exited that this week is photo week. We are all happy that there is going to be another photo in the Calderwood Lodge family album. All school pupils are going to have to brush their hair and teeth and come in, in their best uniform.

When I was little, I honestly thought that school photos were really a big waste of time. As the majority of people now have phones with cameras, this, therefore allows parents to take pictures at the click of a button any time, anywhere. I wondered what the point was in spending money on an expensive photographer? But now, that I’ve grown up a bit, I understand that those class photos contribute to the framed memories, of children happily smiling, that families hang on the walls of their cosy homes. Not only that but, it also makes me proud to be a part of the school’s history, despite it just being a snapshot.
