Motion text

That this House congratulates all at Giffnock Primary School on the occasion of reaching 120 years, the school having first opened its doors at 10am on 11 November 1902 with 27 pupils in attendance; notes that Giffnock Primary School was initially based in the Tower of Orchardhill Parish Church due to a lack of suitable premises in the Giffnock area as the community expanded in the early 20th century; understands that Giffnock Primary School continues to have a strong relationship with Orchardhill Parish Church including as part of an intergenerational project at the Old Schoolroom Museum which charts the changes from 1900 to the present day in learning, technology, family life, toys, pastimes, and community life; highlights that this significant birthday will be celebrated on 25 May 2023 with a 120 Year Tea Party Celebration; and wishes all the pupils, teachers, parents, and others involved with Giffnock Primary School and Nursery today and in years past a very happy 120 years and all the very best for the future.
