The Allmeria Officially Opened

We have dedicated our new outdoor classroom in honour of Allmeria Oliver. Allmeria, a P5 pupil at the school, died suddenly on December 11, 2020 after an unexpected medical emergency.

The outdoor classroom was requested by pupils through a pupil participatory funding initiative, with this idea garnering the most votes across the primary school. However, this fund wasn’t sufficient to meet the full cost. Support from the Perth Common Good Fund, the Basil Death Trust, Axiom and the Pupil Equity Fund have made this splendid new addition to the primary school a reality.
