Kingarth Street takes part in Glasgow Open Doors Day

FP Morag Venner C1959 and young visitor On Saturday the 17 September the Kingarth Street Primary once again took part in the Glasgow wide Open Doors Day. The event proved a great success and over 150 enthusiastic visitors toured the school.

Amongst the visitors there were many former pupils, some of whom brought photographs and memories to share. Two former pupils, Anne Montgomerie (Nee Hepburn) C1954 and Elizabeth Lough (nee McIlwrick) C1945 found that their visits took a nostalgic and unexpected turn when they spotted themselves on our display boards.

There were also many young families who wanted to learn more about the school and those who simply came to see the stunning architecture and original features of the Kingarth Street building.

Thanks must be given to our former pupil helpers, Morag Venner C1959 (pictured above) and Sallie Harkness C1956, the School Janitor David Finnie and the prefects (pictured below) who all gave valuable assistance on the day.
