Science centre opening
We were delighted to welcome Professor Yellowlees, Chair of the Royal Society of Chemistry and Vice President and Head of the School of Science and Engineering at Edinburgh University, to formally open Kilgraston’s Science Centre. Professor Yellowlees gave presentations to pupils and staff in the afternoon, then braved the heavy rain showers to cut the ribbon and unveil a plaque in our Science Centre. In the evening, we were joined by alumni, parents and friends of the school, who enjoyed another presentation on ‘Science Today’ - covering the role of science in solving the past, present and future challenges facing our society.
The event marks the last of Miss Losty’s series of ‘Science Soirees’, as she retires from Kilgraston at the end of term. We were delighted that so many of Miss Losty’s ‘old girls’ were able to join us for the celebrations. Tim Hall, Chair of Kilgraston’s Board of Governors, led the tributes to Miss Losty, remarking that she was much loved by generations of Kilgraston girls, and that the school was lucky to have found such a wonderful teacher and housemistress.
