Pupils and teachers at Lornshill Academy got into the Easter spirit in the perfect fashion with a wonderful Easter Bonnet parade.
All 54 tutor groups took part in a competition at the school last week, just before they set off for their Easter holidays.
The event was organised by each of the Houses, with each tutor group asked to design, make and model an Easter Bonnet.
The bonnets were then judged at each House Assembly by Head Teacher Peter Allan and Office Manager, Sandra Taylor, who were ably assisted in reaching a difficult decision by two of the school's senior pupils.
Each tutor group paraded their design, modelled, in most cases, by a staff member.
Marks were given for catwalk performance, creativity and how well they caught the essence, mood, colour and spirit of Easter.
Head Teacher, Peter Allan said: "The designs were great. Some were very elaborate, some simply effective, but all were the result of careful planning and teamwork."
The bonnets were modelled one by one in assembly, accompanied by a catwalk commentary. This was followed by the Easter Bonnet Parade, led by various "Easter Bunnies".
The overall winners were: Devon D17 - David Baillie's tutor group; Forebraes F01-
led by history teacher Rosie Shannon's group ; and Grange G14 - the group organised by Principal teacher of home economics Roseanne Grattan and home economics teacher Rowena Barnet.
Mr Allan added : "The whole event was a great end to the term and a terrific way to send everyone off on to enjoy their Easter break. All of the tutorial groups should be congratulated on their outstanding team work."
