00:00We know how important the track is to the community and actually the community
00:04coming around the track and the amount of support that that's had has been really impressive. I have
00:08to say it just shows how tight a community Tane is and we're really keen that all of
00:14the facilities that we have in the area are available to the community. So we'll be working
00:18with High Life Highland and we are working with High Life Highland to make sure that
00:21the management of the spaces is also for the community as well as for the school and having
00:26as you say all that outdoor space in terms of the all-weather pitches and the breadth of different
00:31sports that can use the space I think is a fantastic addition to what we can offer to Tane
00:38and for me it is really important there isn't a sense of disconnect between the two. I think you
00:43know community spaces are just that and therefore we need to make sure that everybody has the
00:47opportunity to benefit. It's one thing to come around the school when there aren't pupils in it
00:51and it's wonderfully impressive but I'm really looking forward to seeing what it's like when
00:54when pupils are in because it will take on a whole new kind of dynamic and I think that the
00:59children
01:00and young people will really enjoy the space. I think they will feel that they are valued by the
01:07investment that we've put in place and I think that they just want to make the most of all the
01:10facilities that are here and so I can see it generating quite a lot of interest in doing
01:16different types of activities and new activities because the facilities are just so good for that.
01:24So
