Introduction - the Web Pages

During our 175th Anniversary Year, 1999-2000, we hope to publish these pages with updates every couple of weeks, depending on voluntary effort.

There are seven sections to give you information on the school and the pupils' activities. Click the mouse on the buttons above, or the bars at the side, to move from section to section.

The pages are being published to publicise 2000/175 events, to make contact with former pupils around Scotland and around the world, and to let the pupils experiment with publishing to a wider audience including other schools. An after-school Web Club, led by a parent volunteer, met in the last two terms to collect material and to help decide what to publish.

We make the pages up at home since most of the school's existing computers are old and not very fast. Now that we're most of the way through the 175th Anniversary year, there's a chance to meet the editors here.

If you'd like to help out with producing these pages, please look out for information in the regular 2000/175 newsletters sent home from the school.

We'd hoped to sell a small amount of advertising on the site, to raise money for the 2000/175 events, to cover costs and perhaps to buy some computer equipment for the school. A mail-shot to all local businesses in the school catchment area got a nil result, though, even after follow-up by glamorous volunteers.

Local businesses have been very generous to other 2000/175 events (see inside for details), but the Internet isn't widely used round here yet. There are no lastminute.coms in Ayrshire! Any sponsorship or donations would be welcomed, and acknowledged.
