for their S3/4 course.
Pupil Exhibits Work
S6 pupil David Rae, has had his Product Design coursework folio for session
2008/09 displayed in the ‘Product Design - First Steps’ exhibition at the
Glasgow School of Art. David was one of only 10 pupils from across Scotland
selected by the SQA and School of Art team to have their work professionally
mounted and exhibited in the Atrium Gallery, located in the Art School’s
Foulis Building. David’s brief was to design street furniture for the iconic
Charles Rennie MacIntosh building. With creativity and skill David’s design
of a bin for recycling waste was considered by the judging team to be
“thoughtful, detailed and ambitious”. A huge congratulations to David from
all at Bannockburn High. If you would like to view the exhibition, it will
run from the 25th February until the 9th March 2010 at the Glasgow School of
Art Atrium Gallery, 158 Renfrew Street, Glasgow.

classes experienced a trip to Parliament, two West End musicals – ‘Sister
Act’ and ‘Wicked’ and had some recreational time to visit Madame Tussauds
and Harrods.
