S2 subject choice this week has been lovely π It was so nice to ringfence time to spend 1-2-1 with pupils and just celebrate their strengths. I honestly think it's one of the privileges of Pupil Support. When I'm frazzled, I need to think about these moments more. β¨οΈ #teaching

Wishing all pupils at @Paisley_Grammar well as they receive @sqanews results. I failed my English Higher 1st time and went on to get an honours degree in English Literature @UofGlasgow. So, if it hasn't gone your way, dust yourself off and know there's always a way forward! π
Really powerful visit from @G_Armstrong21 - pupils were engaged from start to finish. So important to discuss themes of gang violence, trauma, and masculinity. Plus, amazing to witness instant positive impact as pupils checked out every copy of 'The Young Team' from @library_pgs
Lovely video! The tree was twinkling away in the hush of the empty Memorial hall after school. Was really lovely with the lights on. You know it's really Christmas when the PGS tree appears! β¨οΈ π π₯³ π#stepintochristmas#celebrate
Busy day for S4 pupils today - they did excellently! Thanks to our partners for giving up their time and thanks to all our Barista pupils for serving up lovely coffees and hot chocolates. Loads of employability skills on show ππ #teamwork#confidence#ScotCareersWeek23
V proud @Paisley_Grammar leadership class raising vital funds for @WSPFMCT. 1637 items sorted within the hour, then a swift trip to Tesco to spend the Β£440 that was donated WITHIN A WEEK for 12pm collection! Excellent leadership skills shown. π 2273 items all in! #wow#topteam
Love this - education set me free from a life that could have been very different. So grateful to have a job where you can make that difference to individuals. Important to remember-- even when it gets hard. The prickly ones are the ones who need us most. π #traumainformed
Education is the route out of the cycle.
If @G_Armstrong21βs teachers hadnβt believed in him, he wouldnβt be where he is now.
I know this, because thatβs how I got out too. Itβs why I became a teacher. Itβs all about relationships - be their loudest advocate! π
Delighted to support @Ren_Foodbank with their annual food rush. Our S6 Leadership class have been raising awareness in Tutor Time & have organised a non-uniform day on Fri 13th Oct. Please bring donations - see pics for ideasπ‘ #compassion@PgsSkye@PgsMull@pgsiona1@PGSLewis
@BoclairAcademy @Beinn_Unity Fantastic course which has stayed with me for the longest time. Honestly, life changing and challenging-- in the best way. Hope all staff enjoy as much as I did! π
Great way to show how difference is a beautiful thing! πππ I loved seeing pupils showing up in their free time to demonstrate their support in such a visible way. I also loved throwing coloured powder at people... π€£ #myaimwillbebetternextyear#AutismAcceptanceWeek
