South School Pupils Check Out Pavements For Safer Route To School
 Pupils
from South School, Wick recently went out to measure pavements or the
lack of them near to their school. The pupils concentrated on Old
wick Road where there is pavement only on one side of the street due to
the fact that until recent years there was only one house. With
the advent of new house building on Old Wick Road and at Old Wick where
nearly 70 houses are being constructed it was felt the time was right to
look at the pavement situation. A programme administered by
Highland Council called "Safer Routes To School" may provide some
funding to improve the situation. Highland Council TEC services
has been working with the school to check measurements and hope to be in
a position to carry out the work on new pavements later this year.
A few photos of the burn that runs through the area were also taken as
this is a cause of concern due to the unsightly amount of rubbish
accumulating in it.

 This
years South School football team seem to reflect the growing confidence of
the whole area and took a third trophy this year - The Danny Cormack

The team swept all before them this year winning three cups and becoming

it seems Pulteneytown is on its way up again. Well done to the South

Dounreay Apprentices On the Ball For South School,
Wick
 Apprentices
at Dounreay turned their skills to making football equipment when they
learned that a primary school in Wick didn't have a proper set of
goalposts on its pitch. They turned out a new set of goals using
fabrication equipment in their workshop and then installed them at Wick's
South School. The apprentices also manufactured a new set of gates to help
improve security at the school. Dounreay became involved in the project
when site director Norman Harrison spoke with community leaders about how
the site could help the Pulteneytown regeneration project.
