In pictures: Wallacestone Primary marks 60th year with 'dress as a decade' day

There were colourful costumes galore at Wallacestone Primary recently as pupils celebrated the school’s 60th anniversary.

Youngsters and their teachers took part in a ‘dress as a decade’ or ‘dress down’ day recently to celebrate the diamond occasion.

Pupils were given the opportunity to wear clothes representing a specific decade – and the theme really caught their imaginations with a wide range of decades represented.

The school is marking six decades this October since it moved to its current site in Braemar Gardens.

A range of anniversary events are planned throughout this school year, including a community open event on Wednesday, April 30, 2025.

Photographer Michael Gillen captured these images from the day’s celebrations.
