Elderly learners in Bearsden celebrate French success
Myra Davidson, 85, Norma Spiers, 83, Joan Lyon, 87, and Wallace Cuthbertson, 95, from Meallmore-run care home, Antonine House, completed a 12-week course with social enterprise, Lingo Flamingo. This is Myra's second language qualification in less than a year, having previously achieved her National 2 qualification in Italian. Myra Davidson (Image: Supplied) A special graduation ceremony was held at Antonine House to celebrate their achievement, complete with graduation hats, gowns, fizz, and balloons. Myra said: "I enjoyed the class as the teacher took her time with us and taught us individual words rather than screeds.

"It was a great class, the company was even better, and we were always laughing." The residents' achievement was made possible by Lingo Flamingo's collaboration with the Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA), offering care home residents the opportunity to gain a formal SQA accredited qualification in a modern language. Norma Speirs (Image: Supplied) The course involved a tutor-led study, focusing on a variety of topics such as greetings, numbers, geography, hobbies, food, and animals and nature. There were no formal examinations; assessment was an ongoing process. Joan said: "I enjoyed the class, although I already knew the language it brought back wonderful memories. "Margot was great, her enthusiasm was so infectious and all round it was a great class to attend." Paula Ritchie, care home manager at Antonine House, said: "It makes us so proud to see our residents taking on a new challenge and thriving – and it's fantastic to see them so proud of themselves. "Activities like this one really highlight the unlimited potential for learning and growth, regardless of age, and the supportive environment we foster here at Meallmore.' Rosi Mele, development manager at Lingo Flamingo, said: "We're incredibly proud of each and every one of our learners, but especially of those who have achieved a national 2 qualification, often overcoming health and cognitive barriers and proving that it is never too late to learn something news and have fun doing it.'

St Kentigern's Academy set to open new wing months ahead of schedule
St Kentigern's Academy in Blackburn is set to open its new wing months ahead of schedule after a £50m rebuild. More than 60% of the school – one of the largest in West Lothian- had to be demolished because of RAAC roofing panels. While councillors welcomed the fact that school will be completed by March, they voiced disappointment that the Scottish Government has yet to respond to pleas for £15m to help meet the costs. The Executive heard that the council has budget a loan could face paying an extra £15m interest on that sum. A report to the executive said: 'Discussions remain ongoing with the Scottish Government around funding support to deliver the works required at St Kentigern's Academy. To date, no funding support has been confirmed.' Depute Chief Executive for Education Dr Elaine Cook told the meeting: 'For the first year in a number of years, we will be able to have all our SQA exams within the school site.' Councillor Sally Pattle, Lib Dem, said: 'I really wanted to say a massive thank you from the outset, on behalf of councillors. Officers have kept us fully informed. They grasped the nettle in dealing with this situation.' 'Fingers crossed we get some money from the Scottish Government.' Depute SNP group leader Pauline Stafford echoed Councillor Pattle's thanks to officers and added 'A big thanks go to staff and students who have borne this really admirably. It has been a lot of upheaval.' Countering complaints that the Scottish Government had not responded to the council's plea for £15m costs Councillor Stafford said the council would be a better state if it had not had to pay £18m for PFI projects introduced by Labour. Conservative group leader, Damian Doran-Timson described that as 'defending the indefensible' and criticised millions of pounds 'wasted by the Scottish Government'. He added: 'The issue here is the Scottish Government not supporting the council. Shame on the Scottish Government for not stepping in.' Labour councillor Tom Conn said: 'I'd like to thank officers for dealing with RAAC throughout all our schools' estate. Not one penny has come from the Scottish Government to support this council. There's been criticism of the PFI which we are still paying off, but this is what we are going to have to do if we don't get this support- paying off on the never never.' A Scottish Government spokesperson defended its record on funding schools, pointing to almost £24m of funding through the Schools for the Future Programme, spent on building or extending schools in the county and also financial support given through the Learning Estate Investment Programme. The spokesperson added: 'The Scottish Government has been in regular contact with each local authority where RAAC has been identified in schools. 'The Education Secretary met with West Lothian Council and visited St Kentigern's Academy and was reassured on progress made by the council in dealing with RAAC identified in the school. 'National guidance has been available from the Institute of Structural Engineers to local authorities since March 2022. That guidance remains good practice for councils to adhere to and uses a risk-based approach to manage RAAC.' After the meeting Andrew McGuire the executive councillor for Education said: 'It's great to hear how much progress has been made in re-building a significant part of St. Kentigern's Academy in Blackburn. 'St Kentigern's is a large secondary school that provides education to many young people from towns and villages in the west of West Lothian. 'We can now look forward to the new building at St Kentigern's being opened in 2026, which will deliver huge benefits for pupils and staff. 'Thanks to everyone at the school and those involved in the project for their hard work to ensure a major construction project can be delivered quickly with minimal impact on education.' The new building will feature a reception area, spacious canteen and dining area, a four-court Games Hall, Dance Studio, Fitness Suite and a changing area. Additional facilities will include a performance area, a range of learning spaces, a café and nurture rooms, all designed to enhance the learning environment for all of the young people who attend the school. The work has been completed while the school is operational, with every effort made to keep disruption to a minimum for a project of this scale. A temporary 'Learning Village' has been put in place to support learning, with some PE lessons and SQA exams the only activities that required additional space off-site.

Tens of thousands Tayside, Fife and Stirling homes face blackout as old RTS meters switched off
Tens of thousands of homes across Tayside, Fife and Stirling still using old RTS meters could be left without electricity at the end of this month, according to alarming new figures. Nearly 25,000 homes across Dundee, Angus, Perth and Kinross, Stirling and Fife still need to switch to modern systems to run central heating and keep the lights on. Designed in the 1980s, RTS meters use radio signals to switch between peak and off peak targets. But the tech is due to become obsolete at the end of June leaving energy suppliers racing against the clock to install newer smart meters. Money Saving Expert Martin Lewis explained the switch could mean those with RTS meters find their heating and hot water are left continually on or off, or charging up at the wrong time of day. Suppliers could also charge people incorrectly. In Fife, as of April 18 there were a total of 5,075 homes with a KY post code still using an RTS meter. In Perth and Kinross, there were 6,720 homes still relying on the near-obsolete meters. Exact figures in Stirling are unavailable as the area shares its postcode Falkirk, though some 5,640 homes with an FK postcode are still using the meter. In Dundee and Angus, the figures stands at some 7,540. Despite the significant numbers at risk – over 124,000 in Scotland – and with just two weeks to go, at the current rate meters are being changed it would take 380 days. RTS meters are typically used in areas with no mains gas supply, often flats or in rural areas, and the property is usually heated using electricity or storage heaters. RTS meters have a transmitter or separate teleswitch box next to the electricity meter. It should have a Teleswitch label on the outside. Energy suppliers can provide more information if a householder is unsure. North East Fife MP Wendy Chamberlain told The Courier: 'Just last week, my constituent was scheduled to have her meter changed after desperately trying to get it changed for three years, but no one showed up. 'Her husband has cancer, and the elderly couple are extremely worried about the possibility of being left without heating.' Ms Chamberlain fears suppliers are not taking the deadline seriously and wants Fife Council to prepare. 'Another short extension of the deadline will not solve the issue and if the switch-off is in autumn or winter the problems it will cause would be exacerbated by cold weather,' she added. 'Energy companies must increase their efforts to exchange all outstanding meters ahead of the deadline and be prepared to compensate anyone in North East Fife who has requested a new meter but loses out as a result of this bungled switch over.'
