@Modernstudies_ We should have gone when it was at the Playhouse! Xx

@PortobelloHigh All the best for your retirement Alison. You were such an amazing leader and mentor to so many of us over the years. You deserve every moment of rest after working so hard! Xx

@Modernstudies_ Aw that class ❤❤❤❤

[Gemma Banks @gemmabanks85]

@MrsDobsonHT @official_DHS Congratulations Allyson. Not surprising at all! 🥳

[Gemma Banks @gemmabanks85]

@Modernstudies_ That was such a great day and such an amazing AH crew! End of an era, but what a time we had eh? Miss you chum. Definitely see you soon ❤❤❤

Also should add I was one of 6 recipients, and in very good company too!

[Gemma Banks @gemmabanks85]

Not going to lie, recieving this from our fab S6 team yesterday was a really proud moment. I am so lucky to have witnessed this year group grow from S1 to such fantastic humans at @PortobelloHigh. I hope you have all had an amazing last day and many adventures to come ❤ xx

[Gemma Banks @gemmabanks85]

Such a fab summit tonight to finish such a worthwhile learning experience completing the @EdScotPLL Teacher Leadership Programme this year. AND a chance to hear and feel inspired once more by the amazing @jazampawfarr. Now time to celebrate #EdScotTLP

@bones_carmel @samaritans I am so so sorry to hear this Carmel. I hope you and your family are doing ok. Sending all my love xx

[Gemma Banks @gemmabanks85]

@bones_carmel @PortobelloHigh Will do!

[Gemma Banks @gemmabanks85]

@bones_carmel @PortobelloHigh It was great as always. Really useful tools to try with my online classes. I will be passing on the recording tomorrow to the rest of the staff 😁

[Gemma Banks @gemmabanks85]

@LibertonHighHT Absolutely. One of my former pupils is now a fellow Modern Studies teacher and is doing brilliant things with online sharing and collaborating, and now my hairdresser is a former pupil who owns her own salon. Both Craigmount's finest 😁

[Gemma Banks @gemmabanks85]

As a big musical theatre fan, I am loving the efforts of this fab teacher. Such a great way to welcome them all back!

@Modernstudies_ So so happy for them ❤

[Gemma Banks @gemmabanks85]

So relieved after today's decision on SQA results. Despite not being in school this year, I know how hard our pupils and my department worked, and they finally have the results they deserve. Can't wait to see all their smiling faces over the next few days 😊 xx

[Gemma Banks @gemmabanks85]

Bag packed, lunch made, favourite coffee cup washed and in the bag ready for tomorrow morning. I don't think we will ever know a term like this one again, but I am ready for it. Let's see what tomorrow brings!
