Our Senior Criminology class today had an insightful visit from our Campus PC Hughes. They asked insightful questions and learned vital information about the various roles within the police, processing crime scenes and keeping the public safe.

Well, this was a real honour. In December, a teacher
@HolyRoodModern in Edinburgh tweeted a picture from a class showing one of our explainers. A few DMs later and I got to talk with the students today. Please have me back and best of luck with your studies.

Today we were joined by @BBCRosAtkins and Josie Verghese from @BBCYoungReport to talk to us about the role of the media in a democracy, their career journeys and top tips for aspiring journalists. An amazing opportunity, and we all learned a lot!

So excited about this next Tuesday!

This made my day a few weeks ago. And I've had my day made all over again. Holy Rood Modern have confirmed I can join a class next Tuesday. The subject is 'the role of the media in democracy' so we won't run low on things to talk about. Very touched by the invitation.

Today S3 pupils were practicing media literacy and learning about the role of the media to explain by analysing ⁦@BBCRosAtkins⁩ videos on recent events.

Mrs Jackson’s S1 class have been working towards their John Muir Award. Last week, we went on a walk in our amazing school grounds and collected some fallen leaves. This week, we made leaf rubbings and identified the types of trees they were from.

Former @HolyRoodRCHigh pupil Ruth Quill talked with the Higher Psychology pupils today about studying Psychology at Uni, life at @univofstandrews and how to thrive in their next stage of life. What a star!
