The Art & Design Department have recently had Malcolm Cruickshank, an Artist in Residence, working with a number of pupils. All artwork was based on the Museum at Prestongrange, with pupils taking inspitaion from photographs that Malcolm had taken.

Initial drawings by S1, S2 & S3 pupils formed the basis for abstract sculptural works, mostly created using recycled materials. The S3 sculpture is soon to be placed in the school garden.

An exhibition of work is currently on in the Brunton Hall and should remainon display until August. Go to the Box Office and ask to see it!
