Cast your votes, which design do you think is going to win?? Points awarded for creativity, structural integrity, teamwork and the total time the marble will spend on the rollercoaster from start to finish. It's going to be a hard decision from the judges at @EDTScotland π @stem

Some great ideas coming out of the rollercoaster challenge so far, with everyone thinking about engineering principles and Newton's 1st law of motion π #stem #engineeringscience #realworldlearning #teamwork @EDTScotland

Huge congratulations to our senior football team that just won the Presidents Cup!! Itβs been a great year working with these boys and what a way for the S6s to end their school career. A 2-0 win against a very good Cults team sees Porty crowned champions!!

As I sail north and stare out at the vast ocean blue, I am more certain than ever that we have to do everything in our power to save what we can.
This is the fight of my life.
The fight of all of our lives.
The fight for all of our lives.

Very happy with how this display board turned out showing rotary to linear motion. Hopefully students for many years will benefit and engage with it for self directed learning @VilliersSchool

Havenβt been able to share too much from the S2-6 jewellery club as weβre busy making Xmas gifts, however our next venture we could use some help with. Any spoons/forks with patterned handles would be gratefully received! #upcycling #handmade @PortyAcad
