Carnoustie & District Brass Band Today was our last performance at a Primary School where the band played, the girls danced and Owen piped amazingly. The audience really got involved. Great to finish their performing on such a high. Well done to them all they did us proud.
The thoughts of all the staff & pupils both present and past are with Mrs Gallacher’s family at this sad time. Sarah was indeed a ray of sunshine who touched many at Carnoustie High during her time as a transition and biology teacher in Carnoustie.
It is with very heavy hearts we share the devastating news of the passing of one of our much loved and respected teachers, Mrs Gallacher. Sarah will be sorely missed by both staff and pupils at Arbroath Academy and our thoughts are with her family at this time.
