Interesting discussion today between colleagues about the answer to the square of 81 being positive AND negative and not accepting pupils writing just positive 9. I would accept just +9 as I am sure I read about the principle of a square number is only positive?

Today is #WorldSuicidePreventionDay.   We can all help to prevent suicide by starting the conversation and creating a culture of openness, understanding and support.   Remember, it is not always obvious when somebody needs help.

Gutted to lose my work bestie today. She will smash her new career.
As well as saying goodbye to the S6 pupils we also said a fond farewell to Miss Ross in the Maths department as she starts her new adventure. Good luck Miss Ross.

Faculty meeting this evening with English and Maths, great session with lots of interesting ideas. Our theme was modelling, strategies identified and peer observations made across departments. Thanks to Mr Stead and Mrs Taylor for helping me lead this session. @LarkhallAc

As it approaches the end of term that yearly reminder to take a note of your school computer and Seemis password will make that first day back after summer that little easier!

Happy to have completed this programme. Thought provoking and allowed me to identify what type or leader I want to become. #EdScotML
