Set to open later this year, Blairgowrie Community Campus will be home to Newhill Primary School and nursery and St Stephen's RC Primary School. Purpose-built facilities will enable each school to maintain its distinctive identity.

Alongside the educational provision, there will be a range of facilities for community use, including a multi-use games area with changing rooms, sports hall, music and drama spaces, facilities for family learning and meeting rooms.

Lifelong Learning Convener, Councillor Liz Grant said: "The new Blairgowrie Community Campus is going to make a major contribution both to the education of local children and to community life in the town. I hope as many people as possible will come along to the exhibition to find out more about this fantastic new education and community facility."

Anyone wanting more information about the exhibition should contact Rowanbank Community Learning Centre on 01250 874234.
