BUSINESS owners have handed over their donations to a vandal-hit primary school.

Big-hearted bosses at the St Enoch Centre and Hamley's toy store have given gift vouchers and colouring materials to the children of Gowanbank Primary.

We told how the school was trashed by vandals who paused their rampage to eat jelly and ice cream.

Around £10,000 of damage was caused and prompted a massive clean-up operation.

Anne Ledgerwood, general manager of the St Enoch Centre, said: "As a local business, when we read about what had happened at Gowanbank we felt touched by it but appalled and moved to offer what we could to help.

"The St Enoch's Centre has given the school a gift card so they might use it to buy a treat for the kids or to replenish the things that were damaged.

"It is so important that the teachers, parents and pupils know the local community is behind them as well, and show them everyone wants to help.

"Moving forward, it's been something horrible that has happened to them but the positive is that people are going to help them and support them."

Head teacher John Daly called the response "fantastic" and visited the St Enoch's Centre to collect the gifts for his pupils at the Nitshill school.

Thugs targeted every single room in the school.

Every computer monitor in the school was either smashed entirely or scratched beyond use.

Smart boards were pulled from walls and white boards - including in an infant class - had obscenities drawn on them.

Cupboard doors were pulled from their hinges and all crockery throughout the school was shattered. The staffroom was wrecked with two microwaves used to make popcorn before being smashed. Fire extinguishers were let off and wheeled office chairs used as dodgems to careen up and down hallways. Mr Daly's office was trashed and personal items broken.

In the infants rooms, wash hand basins were smashed and resources such as crayons and paper were strewn across the floor.

In the aftermath of the vandal attack there were two Go Fund Me pages set up, one by the school's parent council and one by local resident Margaret Gerrand.

One has now raised £2172 while the other is topping up that total with £190.
