125th Birthday Open Weekend

On Saturday 3rd and Sunday 4th september our school was open to the community and general public including pupils past and present.  All the pupils and staff in the school had worked really hard on displays and the gathering of information about school life 125 years ago when the school was first opened, as we tried to make the visit as interesting as possible.  This was combined with photos and memorabilia that had been handed in by members of the community and gathered from West Lothian archives, as well as teachers’ own personal belongings.

Both days were very busy and it was a wonderful experience to be part of, listening to memories being shared and revisited combined with answering questions about the new school and the plans for the future.  Here are a selection of photos taken over the weekend.

The new school

On Friday 26th August Mrs Brockbank and the teaching staff were lucky enough to visit the new school, along with the architect for the project, and have a guided tour of the inside.  The staff were amazed and delighted by how it looked, especially the size of the hall, which seems huge. 

In preparation we all needed to wear safety footwear, high visibility vests and hard hats but it was well worth it.  Hopefully there will be another visit nearer the completion date, which we will share with you if we can.  Below is a selection of photos from the visit.
