Well done to our Values Ambassadors who represented Shawlands Academy so well at yesterday’s GCC Primary Forum and today’s BGE Forum! ⭐️ We loved hearing you speak so confidently about our school values and the skills you learned whilst completing your IDL project @garycondie67

This afternoon, our Modern Studies Department was delighted to welcome @NicolaSturgeon to Shawlands Academy, to talk to S4 and S1 pupils about the role of an MSP and the powers of the First Minister! Many thoughtful and interesting questions were asked! ⭐️ @ShawlandsAcad

We are heartbroken at the passing of Henry Wuga MBE, aged 100. Our Chief Executive, @OliviaRMW, shares a few words on this sad occasion.

When you go home, Tell them of us and say; For your tomorrow We gave our today. #TwoMinuteSilence #ArmisticeDay #LestWeForget

At 11am on 11 November, we commemorate the signing of the Armistice in 1918 that brought a cessation to hostilities on the Western Front. Today we remember all those who have suffered and died as a result of conflict. © IWM (Art.IWM ART 2884)

Thank you @Museum_Learning for delivering such an interesting tour! We learned so much about Glasgow's links to the slave trade and can't wait to pass it on to our S3 pupils, who are currently studying this topic. @ShawlandsRARA @ShawlandsAcad
