Currie High School

Currie Community High School 
Dolphine Avenue, Currie

A programme of refurbishment of the swimming pool changing facilities at Currie Community High School is starting on Monday 18th January.

During the work, there will be new changing rooms - on the small gym side, marked Woodlands. These will have special floor coverings to the pool. The pool will be operating normally.

The access to the pool will be changing permanently. All users will enter from the upper, outdoor, entrance in to the facilities. There will be no access from the new sports hall to the pool.

I hope this work doesn't cause any inconvenience to you. It has been arranged by the school and should lead to much better changing facilities in the not-too-distant future.
