It was a day of mixed emotions at Brodick Primary School last Tuesday when teachers, parents and pupils celebrated the advancing of the P7 pupils to S1 but the day was tainted with sadness at the retirement of head teacher Susan Kelly and the leaving of administrator Fer Murchie.
The traditional leavers’ service started with a singing performance by the pupils before certificates were handed out for sporting achievements and accomplishments. The 13 P7 pupils then each did a short talk on how they remembered their school days at Brodick, with head teacher Mrs Kelly saying a few words of encourage ment and her memories of each pupil, whom she has known throughout their school careers.
