Kiera Beagle
Staff, pupils and friends and family came together on May 25 to remember Kiera Beagle, who passed away last year.
The ceremony started with a bagpipe rendition of Amazing Grace.
Mr Robertson spoke movingly about Kiera and third year pupil, Carly, read a poem aloud.
Kiera’s gran then officially opened ‘Kiera’s Korner’, a space created in memory of Kiera featuring a cherry blossom tree, bench and planters.
The bench and planters were donated by HMP Shotts and pupils helped to varnish the bench before the event. Home Economics
