A final farewell but not goodbye to the most amazing senior mentors today. A celebration lunch with @ScullionToni @dressCodeHQ to recognise their outstanding contribution to Computing Science @stninianshigh. A huge thank you to dressCode for the fantastic and unique awards!

Congratulations to new S5 pupil Jemma who is our recipient of the dressCode Hopper Award for Excellence in Computing Science for 2024-25. Jemma has been an outstanding ambassador and mentor for addressing the gender gap. Well done Jemma 👏 @stninianshigh @dressCodeHQ

To celebrate the arrival of our badges we have a new section in the library for lots of our #CodeRead books. It looks so good! Thanks to @slic for our #SLIF funding. Lets get Coders Reading & Readers Coding. There is no department that could not benefit from some library magic.

@StNiniansLib @creativepromouk @slic Thank you for my badge! Proud to wear it! @stninianshigh @stacshq @ScullionToni

Just look at our beautiful new badges for #CodeRead thanks to @creativepromouk for such a top notch job.@slic #SLIF

This is a fantastic opportunity for our S5/6 Computer Scientists who are considering applying for a Morgan Stanley graduate apprenticeship later in the year. Previous pupils have benefitted greatly from this insight week. ⬇️⬇️ @stninianshigh

We said farewell to Tanvi one of our most passionate dressCoders. Tanvi has been a fantastic @dressCodeHQ ambassador and amazing computer scientist. Could this be the start of a new dressCode club in India? Keep in touch! 🥹 @stninianshigh @ScullionToni

Love to see a female Computing Scientist on the Spiderman Web Sling ride at DisneyLand Paris. Obviously we had to try out our web slinging skills! @SNHSBUSED @stninianshigh @dressCodeHQ @ScullionToni @DisneylandParis @MarvelStudios

@MrMPaterson Looking good Mr P!! 😁

Said goodbye to my 2 captains yesterday and my S6 😢 Couldn’t have asked for 2 better ones to be honest. Put in so much effort from day one and their dedication to Lorne house was outstanding! Goodbye El Capitanos and thanks for looking after me this year. 💙 Lorne Legends!!

Wishing all our Computing Scientists the best of luck tomorrow in their SQA exams. You have all worked extremely hard and we are very proud of you. You got this! 👍 @stninianshigh

Last day for a fantastic group - the original dressCoders. It is with a heavy heart we say farewell but you will all change the world no matter what you do. Good luck and remember Amelie’s kind words - you are always welcome back! 🥺@stninianshigh @dressCodeHQ @ScullionToni

@StNiniansLib @HotKeyBooks @NateLessore You are ahead of me!!! Would be amazing for #coderead 🙏🏼

@HotKeyBooks @NateLessore Ooh we would love a copy for our #coderead project where pupils read fiction and then develop playable digital games based on the characters and themes- this would be a perfect match!

A win at the Waterstones Children's Book Prize last month ➡️ A new book this month! We've got a few super limited proof copies left of WHAT HAPPENS ONLINE, the latest teen release from @NateLessore - out later this month! Leave a comment if you want to get your hands on it 🎮

For those who were unable to attend Nat5 and Higher Computing Science Easter School and e-sgoil today, there’s another chance to attend e-sgoil on Thursday 10 April. It’s not too late to register and push hard through your revision before the exam. @stninianshigh

@StNiniansLib We have heard amazing things about the Wild Robot! Can’t wait to read it!

Some exciting new titles for #CodeRead

Congratulations to Matthew who has been awarded the @dressCodeHQ Turing Award for Excellence in Computing Science. Matthew has not only demonstrated fantastic academic achievement, he has been an excellent ambassador for CS in school. 👏👏Well done! @stninianshigh @ScullionToni

Today my heart is breaking 💔 @dressCodeHQ with our S6 mentors. To Mairead, Maia, Eve, Eva, Kahlia, Sophie, Amelie, Faith, Amna, Lucy, Emily and Olivia who are leaving to do amazing things. I can’t thank you enough - good luck and keep coding! 😭 @stninianshigh @ScullionToni

@MsSMcAlpine Couldn’t agree more! Huge congratulations to you all! Well deserved! 👏👏👏

So privileged to have the opportunity to win awards like this when just doing our job. We need more Computing Science teachers in Scotland in schools to help give all our weans the chance to flourish! #CyberSecurity #Scotland #Education

@StJosephsERC @jpmorgan We absolutely love encryption! Well done! 👏

Thank you to @jpmorgan for your input teaching pupils to encrypt and decrypt in our coding masterclass! Lots of fun was had, and all pupils are excited to create some secret codes! 👀 🤫

S1 have been busy reading their #coderead books looking for inspiration for their computer games. Today we started brainstorming potential ideas whilst developing our coding skills - all coming together nicely! @stninianshigh @StNiniansLib @DigiSchoolsERC @stacshq @flackboy

S6 mentors were filming for @dressCodeHQ about dressCode @stninianshigh and their journey as females in CS. We are so proud of these girls - a fitting way to draw their time at school and the club to a close.😢 Can’t wait to see the final edit! 🎥@WeAreHeehaw @Mearns_Primary
