Press release from PHS School Board, 6 January 2006:

[quote]PRESS RELEASE
PORTOBELLO HIGH SCHOOL NEEDS A NEW BUILDING

2006 must be the start of a new future for Portobello's children. Portobello High Schoolâ€™s building is in a very poor state and should be the centrepiece of a revival in the town. The High School is currently having new windows fitted for a fraction of its classrooms. The School Board has expressed its concern about the poor state of the school buildings and believes the money would be better spent on plans to replace the entire building.

Dr Andrew Fraser, Chair of the School Board said: "What is more important than the education of our children in Portobello and the surrounding area? What would the people of Portobello want more from the Council than good schools? The High School building has come to the end of its life. The roof and windows leak, the drains donâ€™t work properly, the water and power systems have each shut the school for a day. The school is not designed for modern education. Nothing short of replacement will meet the needs of Portobello's children.

â€œMany parents were Portobello High School pupils themselves and the school is an important reason for people wanting to stay, or move into the area. Portobello must look to the future. Its children are the townâ€™s future, and they deserve a better school system than they have now.

â€œAfter years of lobbying by the Board, the High School has no plans, no prospects for replacement - just patch and mend repairs. That must change and the parents, pupils and community of Portobello should consider any viable proposals that guarantee a bright future for the education of local children.â€
