He thanked Mr Robertson for this very generous gift, while the children cheered.
Mrs Robertson then presented the prizes: Senior girl, Christine Lyons; senior boy, Brian McMaster. Ten-year-old girl, Judith McLaughlin; ten-year-old boy, lan Tweedie.
Mr Farrant again thanked Mrs Robertson for visiting the school to present the prizes and asked her to convey the children's appreciation to Mr Robertson.
