A special open evening is happening at Largs Academy in November to mark the forthcoming closure of the school, before moving to the new campus in March 2018. 
This event will take place on Wednesday November 15 at 7pm. If anyone has any information about the school they would like to share please get in touch with Mrs Scott or Mr Martin in Social Subjects.
Reporter Calum Corral took a trip down memory lane as he returned to his old school for a tour, and the memories came flooding back... 
Walking up to the main entrance to the Academy, the first thing I noticed was a massive banner on the playground fence congratulating Abby Kane's silver medal when she was 13, still a mind boggling achievement a year on.
Time has certainly moved on as the main entrance doors buzzed open electronically, a far cry from when I attended between 1987-1993.
"Amo, Amas, Amat, Amamus, Amatis, Amant!" 
Second year Latin classes at Largs Academy were clearly memorable, and thanks to parrot fashion, I can still remember my Latin pronouns years later.
I recall the many great and inspirational teachers over the years. Carol Wark in English always left you laughing with her acerbic wit, while physics and computing science teacher George Crawford had a quirky sense of humour, and always had an interesting knack in helping you remember the most obscure information.
The headmaster during my time was the late Mr William Inglis, and I also have fond memories of my classroom French with some great teachers including Mrs Hamilton, Mrs McClymont, and Mrs Mooney.
I have even had to call upon my schoolboy French on occasion when travelling to Andernos Les Bains, Largs twin town, and Paris, which again goes to show its lasting effect. Tres bien! 
Art class with pastel and paintbrushes with Mr Forrester was always fun, while I can still remember the snap of the metre stick on the table during chemistry class if there was too much conversation!
My memories of history class include being fascinated by the Second World War, which of course, seemed very real as my grandparents lived through it. We even covered the agricultural runrig system in 18th century Scotland. But even history has moved on with pupils now studying the 1960s including 'Who shot President Kennedy?' 
One of my great memories too was the school trips to the likes of Natural History Museum in London with Sandy Cunningham of Biology, and we also visited the old BBC television centre in London to watch tv comedy 'Brush Strokes'. I also remember a happy visit to Kelvingrove Art Gallery in Glasgow, with all the pupils singing Belinda Carlisle's 'Heaven is a Place on Earth' on the bus home as it was number one at the time.
We even had to be sent home from school in third year due to flooding in the Physics department. I even remember the date - Friday the 13th!
Changes from my time include the sixth year common room, now a new dining hall, while the lecture room is about a third of its size, to accommodate a new I.T area. 
Of course, I have maintained close connections with the school ever since, and was particularly proud to be at Hampden Park in 2010 to watch Largs Academy's football side lift the Scottish Schoolboys Shield - a fantastic achievement in the history of the school. And the marvellous school productions of recent years including Phantom of the Opera and Les Miserables will live long in the memory.
It may be seen as an old and out-of-date building to some, but for me, every part of the Academy evokes memories and a real nostalgia for me, and as pupil Ryan Scott told me, the school has 'a great energy to it', and you can evidently see that from its everyday hustle and bustle.
Planning the move to the new campus in March 2018 is high on the school's agenda with every effort made to ensure the move takes place 'with minimum impact on learning and teaching' in session 2017-18.
Head teacher Heather Burns explained: "We are focusing on SQA and exam preparation, planning the co-ordination and organisation of SQA course work and exams in detail; we have a team of enthusiastic ‘Decant Champions’ helping to coordinate the move, supporting each faculty as they clear cupboards and pack up; and we have a Legacy Group, planning the activities around the move which will include an opportunity for former pupils to visit the school before it is demolished. 
"Our school motto, ‘labore et disce’ (‘work and learn’), will move with us as we continue to strive for excellence in all we do."
