Stunning and poignant writing and photography arriving from our partner school in Hussan, Bethlehem, for ‘Repurpose the Past: Banff to Bethlehem.’ A powerful exchange of history, creativity, and connection across borders. @Excelerate_TWF @BxaLearning @BethlehemCF

End of an amazing week of PBL! We wrapped up feedback with our Palestinian partner Taqi, met the Chair of Philosophy at Aberdeen Uni, and spoke with professional storyteller David Heathfield about including stories from children in Gaza in our project. @BxaLearning @BethlehemCF

S1 PBL got hands-on with owl pellet dissection today as part of our ‘Survive or Thrive’ project—equal parts excitement and disgust! Fascinating to see what these nocturnal hunters have been dining on. #STEM #HandsOnLearning @BxaLearning

Excited to launch our project on sustainability, materials & relationships! After facing a week’s school plastic waste, we heard from artist Taqi Spateen in the West Bank. Now co-curating an exhibition with a Palestinian school in Banff & Bethlehem! @BxaLearning @Excelerate_TWF

We are super proud of Hannah, Amber and Ava in S2 who did a fantastic job getting to the final of the @ypi_scotland project this year, but who also went above and beyond fundraising for their chosen charity @archiegrampian 🤩

As part of this project, our young people learned about the impact of online misinformation & disinformation as well as building essential Digital Citizenship skills. This visit marked a proud milestone & one of their questions was even raised during First Minister’s Questions.

Last week, our amazing young people, the heart & soul behind the #DeleteTheFilter project, took their work to new heights with a visit to the @ScotParl. They had a unique opportunity to present their Scottish Government Bill, a testament to their commitment & passion for change.

Amazing work by a group in my YPI class—using off cuts from Techy, they created a beautiful piece of art for the Men’s Shed. Just like how some men may feel like ‘off cuts,’ together they can create something truly special. #CommunityArt #MensShed @ypi_scotland @BxaLearning

A Q&A and feedback session with local artist @BryanAngus Art took place yesterday in our Assembly Hall. This informative session was designed to inspire our S1 #DoorstepExplorers & learn from a local expert on how to sketch & produce Lino print pieces. 🎨🖼️👩🎨
