Education Index

Melvich Primary School, classes P5 - P7 spent Tuesday morning (22ND February, 2005) constructing bird boxes with help from Paul Castle, Highland Council Planning and Development Service Ranger for North Sutherland.  The children undertook all the measuring and construction under close supervision from Ms Scott (head teacher) and Paul and they produced several boxes for the local bird life to benefit from.

Ms Scott said, "The children are proud of their efforts and it has been a very beneficial educational experience. The school has today also received notice that we have secured a school grounds improvement grant from Scottish Natural Heritage and we are all looking forward to future planned projects including seating, planters, window boxes and eventually a wildlife garden."
