S3 Media were completing assignments this afternoon to film and edit a music video; considering target audience and genre. Safe to say they’ve enjoyed themselves during this project!

Loving our Shakespearean laptop names. Being able to say, ‘stop manhandling Hamlet,’ and ‘unhand Ophelia,’ has brought me great joy.

We would like to share the following statement in regards to online abuse some teachers have faced recently for the work they do to tackle discrimination in their schools and local communities.

I am only more motivated; ignorance and prejudice will not stop teachers who are out for change. For our young people, for our colleagues in education and for our society. Everyone deserves to feel safe and supported as who they are.

[Miss McWilliam @MissMcWilliam]

Thank you to all who have messaged me with love, support and kindness this week, and especially today, I appreciate you all ❤️

@tiecampaign @SpeysideRector Thank you! They are wonderful posters indeed 😁

[Vineet Lal @vineet_uk]

@MissMcWilliam Echoing the comment from @MsDSouzaNewark. These are the challenges we face, *collectively*, in bringing about positive change. It reminds me of those early days in race relations and the comments Saroj and her activist peers had to face too. Onwards!

[Vineet Lal @vineet_uk]

Delighted to see such positive coverage on @STVNews of the inspirational @MissMcWilliam at @SpeysideHighSch, joint winner of this year's @gtcs Saroj Lal Award. Some of the comments illustrate why Carrie's work is now even more important than ever.
