BUCHAN School has received the keys to a brand new minibus thanks to money raised at a number of fundraising events.

The minibus was donated by the Friends at Buchan who organised a series of events over the last two years.

A gourmet dinner held in the Barrovian Hall at King William’s College in March raised £8,000.

The bus will be used to take pupils on educational trips to explore the Isle of Man.
