While it is difficult to get a permanent contract in the central belt there is also a big reluctance to move beyond the central belt. Yes it can be difficult to uproot your life but it also creates a narrative that there are 'no jobs' rather than 'no jobs here'
Fantastic news - great to see the huge variety of things going on at St Machar being recognised.

Great news for the Young Enterprise groups
Congratulations to the S5 pupils who passed their YES Company Programme Strathclyde Exam #IBelongWeAchieve #StMacharAcademy
What a fantastic experience. Great to hear what my colleague thought of the Northlink boats @NLFerries . Should have got them to do the trip up there - can't beat the trip to Shetland in a force 8!

You don't have to develop all the teaching materials yourself - its completely fine and normal to use resources that already exist and just amend them to suit your own style.
Fantastic news! I know how much hard work you put into this. Onwards to Hospitality and Events courses next year

Looking great already. Have wanted Minecraft for ages so pretty excited when I heard it might be coming our way and always love a chance to mention Shetland and hear the 'where is that??? its in the middle of the sea!!!!' comments 😅
This looks awesome! Do you have any teaching resources for this? Rumour has it we might be getting Minecraft for EDU next year and I'd love to get my classes to do this. Maybe we could replicate Mousa Broch
Don't underestimate the difference it can make from period 1 on a Monday when they are barely conscious to last thing on a Wednesday when they are fully tanked up on energy drinks and blue lollies 😒😅
It works quite well and means that pupils have options to take subjects that might otherwise not run due to small numbers. It can also help pupils who find that they can't take a course they want in their own school due to a clash, but they can take it elsewhere.
That's what we do in Aberdeen - its called 'City Campus' and pupils can opt to take Highers or Advanced Highers in other schools. All the schools have a similar timetable and the 'City Campus' courses are generally run 2 afternoons a week to help with moving between schools.
