Inspiring the Next Generation

Three interactive sessions were held at Beauly Primary School - reaching 121 pupils.

“It’s always a pleasure to visit local schools in the communities where we work to engage with the kids and tell them all about the water cycle.

"The pupils at Beauly Primary were incredibly enthusiastic, asking fantastic questions and showing a real interest in how our water and waste water networks operate.”

Pupils at Beauly Primary School got a hands-on introduction to the water cycle and waste water treatment during an interactive session as part of Scottish Water’s ongoing investment in the area.

The engaging workshops reached 121 pupils across the school’s P1 to P7 classes and covered everything from the journey of water, to how to stay safe around construction sites.

This visit was delivered by Caledonia Water Alliance (CWA), who are carrying out the significant sewer upgrade investment in the area on behalf of Scottish Water. The sessions aimed to educate and inspire young minds about the vital work behind water and waste water services.

CWA Customer Manager, Clive Duncan, said “It’s always a pleasure to visit local schools in the communities where we work to engage with the kids and tell them all about the water cycle.

The school’s head teacher, Tracey Fraser-Lee, said, “The presentations were both fun and informative, keeping the children engaged throughout.

“Our pupils particularly enjoyed the interactive parts and asked lots of thoughtful questions to deepen their understanding. It was a great experience for the children.”

The visit is part of Scottish Water’s £615,000 investment to upgrade the sewer network in Beauly - an essential improvement that will deliver long-term benefits for the community.

Progress on the project has been good, with the majority of the work expected to be complete by the Christmas break. Some final works will be carried out in the New Year, with re-seeding scheduled for the Spring to fully reinstate the area.
