Our Senior physicists did the school and themselves proud at the WoSPEG physics competition semi-finals, coming second in their group, and scoring 19/20 in the written section. Many thanks to the staff at WoSPEG and Glasgow Caledonian University. @StThomasAqSec @MrsFarrellDHT

WAGOLL: Some amazing results achieved by S2 scientists during the experiment showing neutralisation by dilution. Excellent work following the multiple instructions and accurate measurement of solutions @StThomasAqSec

So much fun today with Dr C's S4 Chemistry superSTArs, with a little help from Mr Houston. We were solving the infamous 'Dante's Peak 2014 SQA Chemistry question🌋' . Special shout out to Tammy who received 3/3 for her answer @STAScience1 @StThomasAqSec

Excellent use of red cabbage indicator to create a colourful set of results from which S2 pupils were able to identify which substances were acid, alkali or neutral. @StThomasAqSec

S2 & S1 pupils had a fab time learning about generating electricity, circuits and engineering at the BAE roadshow event. Thank you very much to the team from BAE, RAF & Royal Navy for an inspiring show & to Mr Houston and Mr Carrick who got some extra exercise! @StThomasAqSec

S3 scientists getting practical investigating how many turbine blades generate the greatest voltage. Turns out it also depends on the angle and position of the blades! Great co-operative working S3. @StThomasAqSec

[STAScience @STAScience1]

S2 STEM wider achievement class discussing and ranking the skills needed to be a good leader and then testing their communication skills by describing and image for their team mate to draw. @StThomasAqSec @STAwiderattain1

Mrs Chrystie was buzzing after the higher physics class worked meticulously to get the best set of measurements ensuring reliable and accurate results during the investigation of acceleration and angle of slope. Great team work class. @StThomasAqSec @MrsFarrellDHT

[STAScience @STAScience1]

Our super physicists held their nerve on the buzzer rounds making it through to the semi-finals of the annual WoSPEG physics competition and did some super cool experiments using liquid nitrogen! Thanks to all University of West of Scotland @StThomasAqSec @MrsFarrellDHT

[STAScience @STAScience1]

Doc C’s S4 Chemists made superb dilution series for alkalis & acids! Impressive accuracy in practical techniques girls! 💕 @StThomasAqSec @meehan_miss

Congratulations to Dr Alzuherri on his well deserved retirement. You will be missed by all. Thank you for all you have done for us and our learners 💛🖤🤍 @StThomasAqSec

[STAScience @STAScience1]

Happy retirement to our beloved Doc A (Doctor Alzuherri) from all in #TeamScience @StThomasAqSec @meehan_miss @Mr_Henry_STA

[Miss Meehan @meehan_miss]

It was such a pleasure to honour the many years of service our beloved colleagues, Mr O'Neill and Dr Alzuherri, at their retirement mass. A special thank you to Fr Boyle and Fr Gregg @StThomasAqSec 🖤💛🤍
