This week’s Aberdonian gallery focuses on Hazlehead Academy.

Our gallery features everything from the Queen’s visit to mark the school’s official opening, to preparations for theatre shows and skiing trips to Austria.

1982: Pupils at an Aberdeen school have been showing the makers of a national children's TV programme how they can have fun and raise money for charity in the process. More than 80 pupils from Hazlehead Academy turned up in Hazlehead Park with eight boats on wheels. Dressed in appropriate garb the children then pushed disguised supermarket trolleys in a race round a circuit.
1990: Hazlehead Academy's Channel 5 Theatre Company begin a three night run of Kes tonight in the school's assembly theatre. Billy, played by Steven Milne (front right), rescues and makes friends with a kestrel, played by Marianne Thorburn. The rest of the cast surround them.

They were among 265 pupils who pounded the sports field in the sponsored event to raise money for charity. The trio, suitably dressed up for the occasion, ran 1km - two and a half laps of their sports fields.
1991: Two groups of top North-east pupil entrepreneurs are set to jet off to Belgium to attract new Euro-customers. The Magenta notepaper company from Hazlehead Academy and Out of the Hat from Kemnay Academy, which makes T-shirts, were chosen for the VIP trip because of their sales success at the Youth Enterprise Trust's Christmas Fair.
1989: No escape for referee Alister Sinclair, in these pictures by Roy Donaldson, as Lydia Philippo (left) and Jane Anderson push him into the pool at Hazlehead Academy, Aberdeen, after the annual Lympics water polo match between the staff and pupils.
