Marybank Primary School had two classes when I started there and over the years we built a good reputation and we had many children coming to us from outwith our catchment area on placement requests. There was also a new Nursery program starting up where small schools could have a part time Pre-School facility.
Looking at projected numbers and the fact we would need space for a Nursery, our school accommodation just wasn’t large enough. With this in mind I prepared a plan and presented it to the Education department well in advance of our needs, and this was accepted. In a very short time a new portacabin Dining/General Purpose building was erected alongside the existing classroom block. It was a wonderful new space that would become a new focal point for the school.
A Nursery was established and had a variety of part time staff to look after the children and was a great addition to the school.
The names of the children around the table are : Paula, Harley, James, Janelle, Mathew, Andrew Bi, Frances, Iain, Andrew Be and are some of the children of Marybank Nursery 1998. Video begins with Primary 1 outside classroom.

Priceless memories my daughter is one of the children unseen footage Thank you!
Glad you found your daughter in the video Lyn and that it has brought back great memories for you. Sorry I can’t recall who your daughter is exactly, (it is Janelle 😊) but I loved visiting the nursery children, they were such good fun and it was good to capture some of that fun on video.
