Really interesting read. Lots to ponder as we look to fully understand how we better support those students that are ‘highly able’, especially those that don’t yet know it.

1H1 are studying ‘ A Kind of Spark’ and it has prompted a lot of conversation about ‘what makes a good teacher?’ as our main character doesn’t feel like she has one… this prompted lots of ‘Thank you for being a GREAT teacher’ cards for staff ❤️🌟 @RosehillHS values in action

Every English teacher’s dream half term destination…

Yet another wonderful display created alongside our young people. Thank you M & T for helping us with our UNCRC display. @RosehillHS are Going for Gold…

3C2 had a visit from @RosehillHS’s link officer today to discuss all things Gang Culture and the risks to young people in society as part of our Identity unit. Lots of very interesting information and some brilliant questions from the class. Very proud ⭐️

An exciting new chapter began this evening… and another one continued to write itself yesterday evening.

💡🎥🎬Today we have published a new framework, alongside Screen Scotland, to support the national roll out of the 3 -18 Film and Screen curriculum. 👉ow.ly/wUC850WUBwA

Absolutely fantastic day with some of our wonderful S5’s at the @ucas_online Discovery Day and University of Edinburgh. Everyone did @RosehillHS so proud! Next step: personal statements

@MrAitken21 @RosehillHS @Rosehill_ExArts I love that we have Drama this year 🎭… just media to go 🎬

National 5 Drama started their stimulus exploration and discussions as part of their Drama Skills unit! Looking forward to seeing how they respond to them and what direction their drama take!

* I don’t think I’ve heard this young person say they’re excited for anything but home time since meeting them in S2. - Meeting the wonderful 1H1 and 1T1, and being able to share in their excitement about our ‘Reading for Gold’ programme. The most amazing start to the year!

Some highlights from Day One @RosehillHS 25/26: - ‘Miss, I missed you over break. Hope it was a good rest for you though’ -‘I saw this on holiday and thought of you. Thanks for last year.’ -‘ I’m buzzing for N5 ya know Miss. I’m gonna smash it and get an A’ *

@MrAitken21 Can’t wait to see it on the 15th! Super 🌟’s

Such a proud teacher tonight! These are the moments that make being a drama teacher super special. What a wonderful evening. That’s to all the friends, family and teachers who came along to support!!
