Harris Academy Prizegiving Ceremony

This morning, I had the pleasure of attending this year's Harris Academy Prizegiving Ceremony.   It was a thoroughly enjoyable morning and great to see the success of so many pupils from Harris Academy.

Guest speaker was Mr Denis Speedie, who retires today from his post of Depute Head Teacher.   Mr Speedie has been at Harris since 1975 and has made an enormous contribution to the school.   He gave an informative, entertaining and emotional speech.   Like all present today, I wish Denis a long and happy retirement.
