A PRIMARY school is calling on former pupils and staff to help it celebrate its 90th birthday.
Netherlee Primary, in East Renfrewshire, is asking former pupils, teachers, parents, neighbours and staff to share their memories of the school as part of a project to mark the milestone anniversary.
The project, called 90 Years in 90 Minutes, will bring together all the interesting stories and interviews gathered in a series of podcasts, which will amount to 90 minutes in total.

The school's birthday was at the start of February and has already been celebrated in various different ways, including talent shows, parties, art projects and all current pupils creating a huge 90 in the playground.
The pupil-led Tech Team is also working hard to bring the history of the school to life throughout the year's celebrations.
A number of episodes of their podcasts are already available on Spotify and Anchor, with episode one featuring an interview with Yvonne Donaldson, the school’s current head teacher.
The podcasts aim to provide short bursts of history, highlighting lots of different perspectives of life at the Clarkston Road school.
Yvonne Donaldson, Netherlee Primary head teacher, said: "We are looking to record a wide array of stories which reflect the interesting and diverse history of Netherlee Primary School.
"Netherlee is more than just a school, it is a community, and this podcast will help tell some of the community’s stories.
"Netherlee pupils have gone on to success in a wide variety of different fields, have travelled the world, have experienced so much – but it all started here at Netherlee."
The Tech Team is a group of P7 leaders who have a keen interest in digital technology.
