Craigalbert Centre
Led by musician & workshop leader Alan Bryden, students at the Craigalbert Centre have been engaging in various creative projects. In December 2022 Alan lead students in snowflake printing and making Chinese lanterns. These workshops are fun and engaging for the students, and also provided a platform for learning about the natural world and promoting creativity.
The centre, established in 1991 as The Scottish Centre for Children with Motor Impairments, is a grant-aided special school in Scotland that provides integrated therapy and education for children and young people affected by cerebral palsy and similar neurological conditions.
The rest of this term is centered around the theme of Scottish Woodland Animals. The students are also currently working on a collaborative project to create a tactile picture of a tree, complete with leaves, birds, and animals, which will be displayed on the school's wall.
At Craigalbert Centre, every effort is made to ensure that the students receive the support they need to reach their full potential. The centre's primary focus is on creating a specialized environment that meets the unique needs of children with conditions that affect their motor functions, so that they can develop their abilities, progress, and flourish. The creative projects and activities that the students engage in are just one example of the centre's commitment to providing a well-rounded education that fosters growth, development, and a love for learning.
