Strathaven English, Literacy & Drama

A huge well done to our Higher Drama pupils for their outstanding performances at the Showcase Evening. 🤩 Just 6 weeks left until the final practical exam! 🎭 @StrathavenAcad

Always interesting to see what pupils across our 4 schools are enjoying/reviewing each month. Great to see such a mix of genres & thanks to @WaterstonesEK, all the pupils who get involved & their teachers who collate the reviews too. @CglenEnglish @StrathavenELD @Duncanrig_Eng

We tell pupils to study, but have we actually taught them how to study?? Today I finished off my ‘How to study: a simple guide on how to study smarter not harder’ PowerPoint. Hopefully will help senior pupils learn how to study effectively ✨

Congratulations to our Found Poetry Competition winner Lily T, S1 and to our well-deserved runners up Ava H, S1 and Jenny M, S2 @StrathavenAcad @StrathavenELD

A fantastic trip to @SkyGroup with our S3 Drama pupils. Developing key industry skills: communication collaboration & creativity. Very impressed by all the incredible movie trailers. 🎥🎬@StrathavenAcad
