Some 31 adults attended a workshop this afternoon about the new Hillside primary school. Three council officers and two councillors were present to pass on information about designing a school logo and uniform.
We were told that suggestions for the logo and uniform are being sought. The logo should not be complicated and in two colours. Entries should be returned returned by the first day back at school after the Christmas holidays. Council officers are also seeking ideas for school colours. So far red and turquoise were being put forward. Purple (Portlethen), green (Fishermoss) and blue (Banchory Devenick) might be best avoided. There will be an opportunity via surveymonkey to make your preference known.
So far three children have already enrolled for the new school, which is scheduled to open in 2016/17 and will have a capacity of 350. The precise date depends on how quickly it can be built. Forms should be returned by 11 December.
The next workshop will be after the festive holidays.
