One of my proudest moments in teaching - well done Murron! 🥳
Todays @Scottish_TTA conference reinforced my belief that EVERY student in Scotland should be able to study the @be_daydream Creative Thinking qualification.

❄️‼️ Wednesday 14th December ‼️❄️
School closed to all pupils. Unfortunately, the Panto trip has been postponed.
Squad Akinfenwa voted to have their Wellbeing Walk today as we have assembly tomorrow and we wanted to play in the snow. We can neither confirm that our Squad Leader Miss McF fell on her bum (she did!)
I still don't understand how squad @daRealAkinfenwa never won the squad photo competition! 🤷 ⚽
Squad @daRealAkinfenwa were lucky enough to get one of the last @BanffAcademyBXA Golden Tickets! Mr Horberry was very impressed with the uniform when he visited during squad today!

Many secondary schools in Scotland have been unable to recruit design and technology teachers, prompting warnings that the subject could ‘die out through neglect’
