Trust your instincts and seek urgent medical help if something doesn’t seem right. Remember… Just Ask: Could it be sepsis?

Did you ever attend Lochardil Primary School as a pupil ?
Did you or someone you know teach or work at the school?
Maybe you simply lived near by...
We need you Lochardil Primary School turns 60 this year and the children are learning about "The Life of Lochardil". They would love to hear your stories and memories and see pictures and memorabilia from school days gone by.
The children in P6 are hoping to be able to create a museum that shares all the amazing memories from Lochardil throughout the decades. They have also got lots of questions that they would like to ask some willing volunteers so they can find out more about life at Lochardil and how it has changed since it was opened in 1964.
If you have any stories, pictures or memorabilia that you would be willing to share or if you would be willing to be interviewed by some of the children about your Lochardil memories, please e-mail [email protected]
Thank you in advance for any support you may be able to offer.
