What a week our @SCQFPartnership Ambassadors have had. They showed so much enthusiasm during their @mgsonline Inset Day presentation, and got some brilliant feedback from staff. Feel very proud 😊 can’t wait to get started with the next phase of planning/curriculum review 💪
Very proud of our @SCQFPartnership Ambassadors this week! Speaking to all staff during our Inset Day and at all 3 house assemblies, not an easy task but they did it with #determination and so much enthusiasm. @MGS_Neill @mgsonline

So inspired by our session with @Donnie_scqf and our ambassadors, lots of work to do, can’t wait to get started 💪
Yesterday @MGS_Neill and I welcomed @Donnie_scqf to @mgsonline. We had a busy afternoon training our @SCQFPartnership Ambassadors (8 wonderful pupils S3-S6), followed by an informative presentation to Curriculum Leaders and SLT. Great feedback already and ideas flowing!

I think @G_Armstrong21’s writing is incredible x
Many have asked how I managed to pull out of the tailspin of chaos my life was in… others, about the catalysts for that change. Here is it… the madness of Scottish young team gang culture, family, faith, forgiveness #YoungBritishNovelists @GrantaMag granta.com/the-cloud-factory…

Loved reading this 🥰 a very honest and timely reflection of why I’m a teacher and why I love what I do. I’m end of term tired but finishing on a high; proper goose bump moments with my highers as things finally start to ‘click’, & fab celebrations with the best colleagues today.

Found a quiet half hour this afternoon to finish my first read of 2023. Took me a while to get in to it but what an incredible novel, some of the writing is just 😱 I pretty much sobbed my way through the second half 😭 Now to choose something a bit lighter from my TBR pile… 🤔
