I Love East Craigs I went to it and I miss everyone. Thank you to all the teachers for teaching me so well. I'm doing quite well in Craigmount I have to say, but East Craigs is the best school ever!

Hey. I left East Craigs in 1997, I was an 'A'. I remember Ardeonig, the long walk to go swimming at Queen Margarets, and sports day. How different does it look now? Would be great to hear from anyone i knew then. School changed loads for me

This is a blast from the past. I "graduated" East Craigs in 1984... and some of my teachers (I had Mrs Gorrie in P5) are still there! It's nice to know that an Atlantic ocean and 3 kids later, some things never change too much.

Heyyy :) Used to go to this school aboout 7 years ago :) Does anyone remember me? Right now im getting ready for exams in 3 weeks at james young :) I was the quite one!?

There is currently an exhibition of the Eco Schools Quilt in the Garden Lobby at The Scottish Parliament. I would like to congratulate you all on the wonderful contribution you made towards the quilt. Again well done everyone.

Kindest regards

Hey everyone! It's Carrie (P7 class of 07) just wanted to say hi to all at East Craigs and hope you're all having as much fun as I did when I was there! It'll probs look very different now!

Have fun! x

I would like to say great big "THANK YOU" to the pupils parents and staff for their generosity on my retirement. I have enjoyed working at east craigs and I wish you all the best for the future.

I used to be a member of this school a long time ago, almost 8 years ago. I'm now in second year at Aberdeen University studying law. East Craigs has changed tons since the last time I saw it, but it looks like it is still going strong.

I used to go to this school. I was in P1b in '99 and my teacher was Mrs Smeaton. Then I had to move back to Malaysia. Gosh, I missed the school - I wonder how it is now?

This websiite is really good. I used to go to this school but I don't think you will remember me. I would like to come back and visit.

What a wonderful, clear and educational web site for the School. Well done. Few schools have such an easy to follow and comprehensive site! When looking for a nursery/school for my daughter, it made life so much easier. Thank you.

So many memories! Nice to see some staff that were then when I was. Left in 1990.

I attended East Craigs, I am now about to finish my first year at Queen Margaret University, studying business. East Craigs gave me the foundations to get where I am today. I have fond memories of everyone at the school, Especially the staff , Mrs Simpson, Ms McLaren, Mrs Edwards, Mrs Gorie, Ms McKenzie, Mrs McKenna , Mrs Bonthrone, Mrs Armstrong and Mr Casey.

Good Times!

Melanie

I used to go to this school - I was in p5 and Mrs Bonthrone was my teacher. I moved down to England but I still always think about the good times I had at the school. When I left Mrs Bonthrone gave me a certificate and I have it on my wall. East Craigs is the best school I've ever been to. The website is fab - hello to any of my friends.

Hello from America! We were visiting the East Craigs website and were filled with happy memories of our year at your school! Kirsten was in nursery and Sam was in P2....four years ago now!!!! Hello to James and Lucy, Matthew, Michael, Nicole, Lauren, Glenn, and everyone else. Come see us in Seattle.

Hello there!

What a great website, I'm most impressed!
Mrs Macinnes and I worked together in Greendykes Primary - many moons ago.
Keep up the good work.

I used to go to this school - I was looking at the pictures and saw the one of Mr Finlayson , it looks just like him!

I remeber when the school used to have a girls football team and Mr Finlayson coached us.

There are a lot of new teachers but it's still the best school and always will be !!

I am looking forward to sending my kids to this school next year!

I am impressed that you recieved the green flag award! A very well done
I look forward to sending my kids to this school!

I would like to say a great big "Thank You" to the parents and pupils at East Craigs for the very generous cheque I received on my retirement. At the moment I am still considering what I will use it for - it may be (in the tradition of East Craigs retirees) a painting, or I may well finally get up to date with an i pod!
The staff & children left me with wonderful mementos of my many years at the school, so I have lovely photos, poems & songs to remind me of you all.
My very best wishes to everyone for the future.
Liz McLaren

I enjoyed looking at your website and it is full of useful information and everyone is happy at your school. I worked with your head teacher for 6 years and the school is fortunate in having Mrs MacInnes.

I went to this school and it was good. I left in 2001 ( I think) and I'm now in 4th year and hope everyone is good and the school is still good!

Wow, the new primary is looking awesome! Wish I still went there. I left in 1998, after 7 fun filled years.
Good to see Mrs Bonthrone is still there, she was the best teacher in my opinion!

East Craigs football team rocked!

Sitting in college, supposed to be working, but having a wee look through the site, brings back the memories.

Hello to all Staff and old classmates.

I would like to thank the Parents' Association for organising the collection for my retiral. My thanks also to all parents for their very generous gift.
I've put the money with the gift from the staff and purchased a painting by a local artist called Sarah Anderson. It's called Towards Arisaig and can be viewed on Morningside Gallery's website. Hopefully I should have it by 19 December and will bring it in for the staff and pupils to see.
I've enjoyed my 18 year 'stint' at East Craigs and the support of staff, parents and pupils. However, I've now begun a slightly slower pace of life but with some new interests and challenges to keep the brain ticking over!!
Very best wishes to you all for Christmas and 2006.

To everyone in P6/P7 who visited Dalguise this year. I hope you are all enjoying being back at school, and not missing the activities we offer at PGL too much! Haha! I'm back in 2006, so I might get to see East Craig's yet again. Altogether now.... "Tarrrrrrrrzaaaaan......!" :-)

Hello I used to go to this school. I really enjoyed it and I have missed everyone - especially Mrs Laing - thanks x

Great website and enjoyable to look at keep up the good work.

hello there!
Emma and Katy here! We are now in first year at Craigmount but we thought East Craigs was good.

I like the school now that it has had an extension. Looks really good. Glad to see that the school is going from strength to strength. I have had 3 nieces and my own 2 children go to East Craigs. That covers about 20 years and with a new great nephew just born, our involvement with the school will go on for a few more years to come.

Great website. Really enjoyed the drawings of the staff and their short life stories. Well done to all those involved.

Hi, I'm an ex-pupil - left in 2000. Im playing my pipes @ the official opening of the new extension on the 31st. It'll be great to see my old school.
Great site.
Dan

I would just like to congratulate you on the wonderful website. I was especially impressed with the portraits of the school staff along with the interviews...it's a great way to introduce them to parents and pupils alike. I am hoping my son will be enrolled in the not too distant future and am sure he will love every minute of it.

I'm in 2nd year now but east craigs was great!

I think the school is very educational. When my child gets back from school,she tells me everything that she did that day and I think it sounds very exciting.I wish schools were like that in my days.

I really enjoyed looking through your site...great idea!

I enjoyed looking at your web site. It is very informative and gives a good idea of what is going on in the school. I hope to have the Wardie Web Site up and running soon.

We have been very busy since we became the first ECO Group members in the school. We have worked on the courtyard after receiving funding from Grounds for Awareness.
We applied for a Bronze ECO Schools Award in May 2004 and were successful. The £250 we then received has helped us buy more plants for our sensory garden.
We have now 'handed the reins' over to the new committee who are P6 pupils.
We hope that they enjoy their year as ECO group members and wish them Good Luck!

Connor, Rebecca G, Amy and Bruce.

Fantastic! I have really enjoyed looking round this website.

I don't go to this school but the website is great!

Hey I used to go to this school, I was in Maybury and came during 1994 and left in 2001, this website is really good, and East Craigs has changed so much since I've left!

Wow! East Craigs have their own website. I'm leaving school forever in about 3 weeks time - I can't believe it's so soon! Anyway glad to see East Craigs is still doing well.

Hi. I'm an old pupil (left in 1999) and just wanted to say it was really good to see that most of the teachers were still there. Looking back at primary school it was the best days. Also its a really nice and user friendly website!

The five of us were in the "b" class that left in 1997. We have great memories of primary school; painting the mural, Ardeonaig and skiing are some that still come up in conversation. All of us are in first or second year at University and loving it.
Thanks!

Congratulations! This is a fabulous website. I like the articles and drawings.
Best wishes for the future

I think that the drawings of the teachers and staff show how attractive they all are. Very interesting site.

Are Mums allowed to 'sign' the guestbook??. I hope so. What a great website...so full of interesting information keeping us all up to date on whats going on at the school.

Hello! I don't go to this school but my mum works there! I think that this is a really good website and I like the pictures of the teachers! Good job!
P.S, Hi Lyndsey S!

I did work experience at East Craigs a couple of weeks ago and really enjoyed it! A big hello to P6a who were great when I worked with them! I left East Craigs in 2001 [I think] and I'm in 4th year at Craigmount now. East Craigs was the best primary!

This school is really good. I'm loving the new extension so far and it will be even better when its finished. I feel really sorry for the p7s because they won't be there, oh and by the way I love the artwork

It's a great website, lots of fun stuff to look at! I love the staff pictures! Fantastic!

I was in the first class to go from p1 to p7 we had a great time, my house was Barnton and we had loads of great teachers especially Miss Kelly (now Mrs Bonthrone) she taught me how to play badminton and netball, Miss Jardine was the head teacher then and she was great too. My gorgeous nieces go there now so its great I get to keep up with all the news and see all the changes that are being made.

Hi it's Francesca, I'm in 1st year now but I'd like to say that I really enjoyed my time at primary.

Love the picture of my mum. It brings back memories of how I used to draw in p1. I can remember doing the circus show all those years ago. I really like the web site.
I brings back the memories of my first three years.

P.S hello to all my old teachers + class mates

I go to this school and think it is great! I like all of the teachers too! East Craigs is Brill!!!

Hello! This is a really cool school and I was sad to leave. I hope some of my teachers can still remeber me!
Hello Mrs Laing + Mr Casey!

Well done all for getting an interesting and informative website together for our school, give yourselves a pat on the back! We will look forward to our website flourishing over the coming months. Thanks to all concerned.

I love my school because I'v got the best teacher (Mrs Bonthrone) & the best friends. The ONLY bad thing is maths, so stop it please!
love Lyndsey xxx

Hi. I left East Craigs in the 80's and pleased to see Irene Bonthrone (but we knew her as Miss Kelly) is still there.

East Craigs left me with some of the fondest memories I have - thank you Irene!

I Love my school because I've got friends, good teachers, and best of all a great head teacher. Also I cannot wait to get the new extension built to the school and get a BIGGER classroom.

Hello, it is Lisa Cosans. I am in 1st year now. Hope you are all getting on OK - I am!

I was at this school. Started 1994 left 2001 (I think!). It was a good school!

I left East Craigs in 1987 with many fond memories including the day we returned from Commonwealth Games practice to find the school had turned from white to brown. Those were the days.

Good site

I used to go to East Craigs but I'm at Craigmout now.

It was brilliant when I was at primary and I really miss it now. I'm really enjoying Craigmout - everyone will enjoy Craigmount when they go up from East Craigs.

I am an old pupil and I just want to say hello, so hello!

I like everyone in P1 and P2 and P3.
I am in P1

This school is amazing. I love all the teachers especially Mrs. Edwards.

Craigmount is nice too, I love school because of East Craigs.

Thank you all.

I used to go to this school and it was great. Hope the school is still running as well as it was with Miss McKenzie!

Hello, I was at East Craigs from 1991 to 1998 and it was a great place to be!! I wonder how many teachers I know are still there like Miss McLaren, Miss Dixon, Miss Robertson and there are many more...I just want to say thanks for giving me a great head start in life for I am now at uni, studying psychology.

Thanks again

I used to go to this school but I now go to Craigmount. It's quite good but very confussing to start with but you get used to it. The best part is making new friends which I've made loads.

Have fun at Ardeonig!

I LOVED East Craigs, it was a good school. Miss Mckinnon was the best!

love

I used to go to your school but left. I miss the friends I made at the school.

From sadaf

I went to this school and thought it was the best school on the planet - eveyone should go to it.

It was so good that I really want to go back in time to be young again!

I used to go to your school. It was a good school.

I used to go to this school and I never knew you had a website - it's really cool though!

Hope the school is still as good as it used to be and everyone is well.
