🎥 Brilliant work from some of our Higher Geography pupils, who created this fantastic news report on Rio! 🌎 They were ably assisted by Lauren from the AH class. Well done, girls! 👏 @LesmahagowHigh @LesmahagowGeog

A new Topic of the Week in the Social Subjects Faculty Base - a simple way to get everyone thinking. 💭 Next week: Would you rather have a one-minute conversation with your past self or your future self? 👀 Looking forward to seeing which way the vote goes!

Our final Faculty lunch of 2025–26, and a lovely opportunity to thank Miss Barnett for all her hard work, energy and enthusiasm during her NQT year before she leaves us. Well done team Social Subjects- another fab year! 👏🏻

A great day delivering mindfulness sessions with our senior pupils as part of their induction day. Pupils explored the importance of being present and practised techniques to help them stay focused, calm and grounded-useful skills for the year ahead. #Mindfulness @LesmahagowHigh

S2 have been showcasing their knowledge of WWII and the War in the Far East by creating their own board games. A fantastic mix of historical understanding, creativity and teamwork, and a great way to bring learning to life! 🎲🌏 #WWII #History #SocialSubjects @LesmahagowHigh

Exam Week 5 brings the fourth and final exam for the faculty, as our Modern Studies students take on their paper. They have worked incredibly hard throughout the year and should be very proud of their effort, commitment and progress. Wishing them all the very best!

Thought the wind had broken one of my plant pots yesterday. Today a sheepish group of S3 girls came to apologise-they’d accidentally knocked it when returning my pens and replaced it (plus a mug!). Small moment, but a lovely reminder of how thoughtful our pupils can be 😊

S2 RMPS exploring conventional weapons today. Groups became “experts” while rotating “envoys” shared and gathered learning. Final task: justify which (if any) was morally defensible. Strong oracy, ethical reasoning and collaboration throughout. #RMPS @LesmahagowHigh
