What a change over  a few days.  The aerial pictures were taken on Wednesday 10th August.  Less than two weeks later the frame for the main building is well under way and growing fast every day.  The PE block is ready for the roof to be added later this week.  A group of Zambians arrive tomorrow.  We are looking forward to give them a tour of the construction site.

Today the new session started for staff and tomorrow the pupils return.  It will be great to watch the reaction of the young people as they see the change in the new build over the summer.  A second crane arrived today and it was amazing to see how quickly new sections of the frame were constructed.  A quick meeting with Balfour Beatty staff has helped prepare plans for further involvement of pupils and staff with educational projects and visits.

SQA results day today.  There was much to celebrate amongst EHS pupils with some excellent passes at all levels of SQA courses.  Well done to everyone.  Meanwhile the work on the new building continues.  The lift shafts are now in place.  This has been quickly followed by work on the steel frame.  Quite a change in the view from the library window!

There was no sunshine or blue skies toay. However, the construction site was very busy with concrete being poured into the foundations for the main block.  There was also much work going on around the base of the lift shafts.
