Parents who attended last night’s Parents’ Forum meeting had the opportunity to enjoy a fascinating presentation on the new school project from Moray Council staff and a represntative of JMArchitects.  A site plan was discussed as well as the thinking behind some of the provisional plans for the building itself.  This included an explanation of some of the modern materials that will be used to help ensure a good working temperature as well as to discourage gulls and snow from lingering on the roof! 

There was a useful steering group meeting on Monday afternoon.  This group is made up of local councillors, a representative of the Parent Council and Moray Council officials.  It was good to hear about the ongoing meetings and discussions with Hubco and SFT.  Martine Scott, Senior Project Officer is keeping a page on the Moray Council website with up to date information about developments.  You can access it from:

All parents of Elgin High School pupils are encouraged to attend the annual meeting of the Parent Forum at 7pm on Tuesday 24th September.  As well as hearing reports from the Parent Council and seeking new members for the coming year, Martine and a representative of JMArchitects will be present to give everyone an update on the project.

Despite the quietness on the Blog, there is a lot happening.  Most of it has been meetings between the various compnaies involved with the project and Moray Council, looking at technical issues.  However, we are starting to plan for the Parent Forum – 7.00pm Tuesday 24 September.  As well as the normal business (volunteers to join the Parent Council are always welcome!) we hope to have representatives from the Architects to provide parents with an update on the design and plans.  Further information will follow.
