Perthshire North MSP Mr Swinney said the project 'represents a significant investment in the future of our young people.'
First Minister and Perthshire North MSP John Swinney saw the progress being made on the new £80million Perth High School building last Friday, November 22.
Up to 1600 pupils and 140 staff will be accommodated in the three-storey building, which is being constructed at the existing High School Oakbank Road site. “This state-of-the-art facility will provide an outstanding learning environment for pupils and staff while demonstrating our commitment to sustainability and tackling the climate emergency.
“This £80m project is a key element of the Council’s programme to improve the learning estate in Perth and Kinross by investing in the provision of modern, fit for purpose facilities, and additionally by building to Passivhaus standards, one of the first schools of its kind in Scotland alongside Riverside Primary, we aim to reduce our environmental impact.”
