School captains Charlotte B, Charlotte G and Jamie L, alongside S4 pupils participating in a foundation apprenticeship in construction, welcomed guests from the Council. They performed the ground-breaking ceremony with Councillor Douglas Reid, Leader of the Council, Councillor Elaine Cowan, Councillor Graham Barton, Councillor Barry Douglas, local member Councillor Ellen Freel, Head Teacher John Stuart, and Principal Teacher David Dodds.
The new extension will substantially expand the school's overall footprint, introducing new teaching spaces, a large assembly and games hall, and updated PE changing facilities. Following the completion of the extension, improvement works will also be undertaken within the existing school building.
“"I am delighted that work is now underway on the extension at Stewarton Academy and that the Council continues to invest in creating quality, modern spaces for our young people to learn."
“"This is an exciting time for the school as the new extension starts to take shape. The extension will create a modern and fit for purpose environment for all learners. I was delighted to welcome guests from the Council for the official ground-breaking ceremony."
