Carrickvale Community Centre and Juniper Green Primary School

Council Executive meeting this morning at Carrickvale Community Centre ... just on the edge of my current Ward. Was only able to stay for the first half-hour, but did manage to catch the local presentations before having to rush off quickly out to Juniper Green Primary School ... Hugh Henry, the new Minister for Education and Young People, was visiting to launch the Scottish Teaching Awards.

Juniper Green was chosen, I guess, due to the presence of Susan Ward who recently won the Scottish and UK Probationer of the Year ... spent a brief spell in her classroom, and despite a dozen or so strange adults invading the room the children were still clearly completely engrossed in what they were doing and got right on with doing it.

No wonder she won the Probationer of the Year award!
