A FRESH-FACED batch of newcomers will be looking to make an impression when they go to schools in Ross-shire next week.
Joining pupils returning following the long summer break will be eight probationers setting out on their new careers.
The Ross-shire intake is amongst a total of 80 newcomers welcomed to the Highlands at a special induction in Inverness yesterday.
The new probationers who will be working in Highland schools for the new session were welcomed at their induction by councillor Bill Fernie, chairman of Highland Council’s education, culture and sport committee, and Hugh Fraser, the director of education, culture and sport.
Pupils return to school following their summer break on Tuesday, August 16.
