@adamrmcvey @SaveCurrieHigh @SavetheWHEC It needs more than just acceptance, it needs a commitment from the council that a working group of people who truly believe in the potential of Wester Hailes and the WHEC is put in place ASAP and that funding for the rebuilds and refurbs is sourced as quickly as possible.

Hollow apology offered by Education Committee Convener Cllr Perry after he forgets to switch microphone off before making disrespectful remarks with Vice-Convener Cllr Dickie during @SaveCurrieHigh & @SavetheWHEC Council debate.

Why @SaveCurrieHigh The proposal to merge all the schools to a 1600 pupil school on GREENBELT Muirwood field will cost between £10-25 million just to remove the pylons but look what else we would loose @EdinburghGreens #saveourschools #edinburghschoolsreview @Edinburgh_CC #ECF

[Save Our Schools @SaveCurrieHigh]

Kids back from school? Good. Still time to hot foot it down to the City Chambers and lend your voice to our Demonstration today 3pm. @SaveCurrieHigh @SavetheWHEC #UnitedWeStand

Why @SaveCurrieHigh The Teacher’s EIS representative has repeatedly explained to councillors it is best for pupil’s education to be in their current community schools.
@drhelenwright states that all schools need to be set in their culture and context for them to work effectively
