The school has now been back for a week.  Although there continue to be numerous activities going on in the background, there is little new to report.  Some of the meetings have focussed on issues such as the number of data points in each teaching area.  Moray ICT have also installed four different makes of touch screen boards in the current school.  These will allow us to trial them and choose the best for the new build.  This is an exciting development as it will do away with the need for digital projectors.

We are still working towards financial close in May and construction work beginning in June with December 2016/January 2017 as the target entry date.  On Thursday I had the pleasure of spending time with the Greenwards P7 pupils during their residential at Dalguise.  It was great to see their enthusiasm about the new build and to be able to answer their numerous questions.  On the original timescale when funding was announced, the plan was for the new building to be complete this month.  They were scheduled to be the first S.1 group whose only experience would be the new build.  Hopefully we will have good news for them soon and get them involved with the turf cutting!
