“The exhibition was a lovely chance for everyone to look back on their own school days, whether that was 60 years ago or more recently.”īooks on the project are available to purchase from the school office for £5.
Kirstie Bailey, creative learning officer with Culture Perth and Kinross and coordinator of the Alyth School Days project, said: “This project has been a wonderful opportunity for bringing groups and community members from across Alyth together to reflect on experiences around the local school. It gave a snapshot of the social history of the school through the eyes of pupils and staff, past and present.
The three-day exhibition brought together historical artefacts and research, memories and stories, old and new photographs, and artwork reflecting the history and future of Alyth Primary School. Pictured looking for old school photos of their dad Innes are pupils Matthew (7) and Amber (8) Chapman with mum Celia
