Last Friday, the Advanced Higher Spanish group and Mrs Barrie enjoyed a great day out in Edinburgh for the Spanish film festival. We were treated to a Q&A from the film's producer and acclaimed feminist author which inspired us in preparation for the completion of the Portfolio

Feeling inspired and energised after attending SCILT’s ‘The Future of French en Écosse’ conference 🇫🇷📚 Exciting -and in some cases difficult - conversations about the role and future of French in our classrooms and beyond. Merci beaucoup #LanguagesMatter #FrenchInScotland #SCILT

¡Muchísima suerte to all our amazing National 5 and Higher Spanish students sitting their exams tomorrow! You've worked so hard, shown such determination, and I couldn't be prouder. Go in with confidence—you’ve got this. ¡Vamos! 🇪🇸🏆❤️

Pupils in Miss Duffy’s Mandarin class ordered food from around China from their very own Chinese menus, and interacted with Miss Cui, our waitress for today! Great customers and great table service here at DYW Mandarin 😆🥢 @linggow_
