School children’s winning stained glass window design unveiled

A stained glass window design created by pupils from Blairdardie Primary School in Knightwood was unveiled at the University of Glasgow on 25^th June. The design was the winning entry in a special award as part of the Molendinar awards held earlier this year at the City Chambers. The school children won a special award given by the University of Glasgow's residential services. Their entry represents a colourful visualisation of Glasgow to welcome International visitors coming to the University.‌ Neil Campbell, Director of Student Residences said "Blairdardie's Primary Three class have done a fantastic job of creating a vibrant and fun stain glass that I'm sure will be enjoyed by all for years to come. We have over 25,000 international students that come from all over the world. We are delighted to have it hanging in the Fraser Building which is used by many of them to find out information about the services the university offers." Councillor Stephen Curran, Executive Member for Education and Young People said: "The Molendinar Awards initiative is a great opportunity for our schools and every year more and more take part. We have some very creative and talented young people in our schools which this particular design illustrates.
