2A2 were applying their assembling skills on CAD this week. Pupils had a chance to get creative with the skills they have been working on and the results look great! #ProudofPorty

Cast your votes, which design do you think is going to win?? Points awarded for creativity, structural integrity, teamwork and the total time the marble will spend on the rollercoaster from start to finish. It's going to be a hard decision from the judges at @EDTScotland 😄 @stem

Some great ideas coming out of the rollercoaster challenge so far, with everyone thinking about engineering principles and Newton's 1st law of motion 😁 #stem #engineeringscience #realworldlearning #teamwork @EDTScotland

Our S3 Engineers are participating in a STEM rollercoaster design challenge this morning with EDT; an opportunity to complete a real experience of the design, build and test process completed when building these thrilling rides! #stem #engineering #realworldapplication #DYW

Congratulations to our S2 Football Squad who today came back from 2-0 to take their semi final to penalty kicks and win 5-4 on penalty kicks to qualify for the final of the Scottish Plate ! Incredible resilience to turn it round

Huge congratulations to our senior football team that just won the Presidents Cup!! It’s been a great year working with these boys and what a way for the S6s to end their school career. A 2-0 win against a very good Cults team sees Porty crowned champions!!

As I sail north and stare out at the vast ocean blue, I am more certain than ever that we have to do everything in our power to save what we can.

This is the fight of my life.
The fight of all of our lives.
The fight for all of our lives.

How amazing is this necklace, handmade made with love for Mother's Day this weekend by one of our jewellery club superstars?! #proudofporty #handmade #diyjewellery #design

Very happy with how this display board turned out showing rotary to linear motion. Hopefully students for many years will benefit and engage with it for self directed learning @VilliersSchool

Haven’t been able to share too much from the S2-6 jewellery club as we’re busy making Xmas gifts, however our next venture we could use some help with. Any spoons/forks with patterned handles would be gratefully received! #upcycling #handmade @PortyAcad
