This was the view from my office window taken earlier today.  After nearly thirteen years of looking out across the playing fields, it is strange to think that this time next week I will be seeing fences and boards going up to mark out a building site.  While the Senior Leadership Team was meeting, folk from Balfour Beatty were walking around the grounds getting their bearings.  The reality of what is happening became even clearer when at lunchtime an S.1 pupil admitted to me that he was really looking forward to being in the new building.  Good times!

While I will be updating this blog regularly, a live camera link will be set up on the website (www.elginhigh.moray.sch.uk).  You can also follow me on Twitter: @AndySimpsonHT
