Brownlee Primary School recently held a special Leavers' Assembly to bid farewell to all of the P7 pupils, as well as principal Colin Elliott.

The special guest speaker at the assembly was Chenyang Li, who is a past pupil of Brownlee Primary School.

Last year Chenyang was Head Boy of the famous Eton College in London, where members of the Royal Family and recent Prime Ministers have previously attended.

This assembly was especially poignant for the school as it marked the retirement of Mr Colin Elliott as principal of Brownlee Primary School, after 24 years in the position.
