Well done to our senior pupil who was awarded the prize for Advanced Higher Graphic Communication at the Scottish Technology Teachers Association conference on Saturday. He received the subject's top mark in Scotland at the recent SQA examinations.

Happy Diwali! Members of our Cultural Connections committee have been delivering sessions to S1 classes this week. These sessions are a fantastic way to build cultural awareness and create a more connected, understanding school environment. @Linlithgow_Acad

Super work from S1s. After looking at how people have practiced medicine over time, our pupils made their own judgements on how good a job they did, and justified their decisions - brilliant thinking 🧐

Thank you to West Lothian Community Police Officers who recently spoke to some of our Modern Studies classes about policing, their roles and experiences.

Our end of term newsletter is now available. As always it is extremely impressive & illustrates the amount of opportunities open to our young people and the amount of work that has gone on over what has been an extremely busy term! You can view it here: https://t.co/0GeEpztWXB

An excellent opportunity for someone. A great faculty to work in with some lovely, enthusiastic, and hard-working students. Excellent trian links from Edinburgh and Glasgow too 😁https://t.co/BcPW3qlx9b

[Linlithgow Geography @LinlithGeoRocks]

Thank you to @GeoBus_StA for coming out and working with our Higher today on hydrographs. Great to do practical work to help with the understanding of a unit we’ve just completed.

S3 didn’t just find out about the DORA laws - they really thought through the implications. Graphic organisers can be great #historyteacher

Study support sessions coming up to work on essay skills at Higher

[Linlithgow Academy History Department @LithgowHistory]

2K1 have been finding out about migration, and turns out they have a lot of connections around the world

[Linlithgow Academy @Linlithgow_Acad]

STV News reporting on our ‘Lit in Colour’ Vending machine donated by @PenguinUKBooks . Well done to our English department who secured this and over 1000 books written by authors of colour following a nationwide competition.

Some brilliantly structured arguments on Haig by S3 historians this week

[Linlithgow Academy History Department @LithgowHistory]

S2 looked at the challenging concept of historiography in social subject this week. They didn’t just ‘get’ it, they smashed it! For info, on Vikings, 2K1 are mostly traditionalists rather than revisionists. #history #challenge #historiography #historyteacher

[Linlithgow Academy History Department @LithgowHistory]

Some of the terrific timelines some of our S1s have created. Terrific categorising. We’ve learned a lot! #classroomhistory #timelines #BackToSchool #topwork #socialsubjects

[Linlithgow Academy Humanities @LAHumanities_]

We're looking forward to seeing everyone back to Humanities tomorrow. Don't forget to set your alarms!

[RMPS-LA @LaRmps]

A great wee note taking activity inspired by @CatHSHumanities. Higher pupils are currently looking at how compatible religious and scientific explanations for the origins of the universe are. 5 key points, with icons to aid recall and support dual coding.
