At 12pm today, all the pupils and staff from Elgin High School, along with pupils and staff from Greenwards, Mosstowie and New Elgin Primary Schools gathered to watch the first turf being cut for the new school building.  The turf cutters were from the current S.4 and P.6 classes.  When the new building is opened in October 2017 these pupils will be in the first S.6 and S.1 year groups.  The event was followed by a series of speeches and musical items performed by pupils from all four schools.  A buffet lunch for the invited guests was finished off with an amazing cake decorated by the head cook.  Who is that digging the turf?!  I like the details of the glasses!  Particular thanks to the S.5/6 Events Management Team for all their work in organising the day.

Now the work will get going.  October 2017 will soon be here!
