Update - December 2017
Update - December 2017 As we come to the end of 2017, I would like to take this opportunity to update you all on progress at Lochside Academy. The school building continues to be on track, with all internal walls and classroom doors now in place. Science labs now have vinyl flooring down; carpets and teaching walls are beginning to go into classrooms and classrooms are being painted. The swimming pool is taking shape and our 3G astro turf pitch will be laid very soon. Over the last 4 weeks, I have visited every register class in both Kincorth and Torry to update pupils on progress, discuss several decisions which need to be taken and most importantly, answer their questions. It has been great to hear the pupils’ views and answer so many fantastic questions as excitement grows as we move closer to our opening day of the 23rd August 2018. I will be visiting all Primary 7 classes in January using the same format. One of the main discussion points has been what will our school uniform look like. The pupils have all shared their views and the next stage, when we return from the Christmas break, will be consultation with school staff and parents/guardians. We plan to have an agreed uniform in place by the end of January 2018. We will also be asking for your views on our vision and values and the young people have been asked to think of a hashtag for the school to go with our new badge. During the last two months I have been consulting with pupils, school staff and both Parents Councils with regards to the makeup of the school day.
