Students in secondary schools modify their behaviours according to the teacher they are with. They want teachers that are strict but kind. And they know the teachers that genuinely care about them and their learning.

As a rule of thumb, kids like the teachers who really like them. So it’s kind of important to like the kids.

So proud of these @NewbattlePE pupils - missing my rugby kids🏉 🥹 Amazing that girls rugby is continuing to grow👏 2 girls playing who's words to me just 7 months ago were "I'm not doing that!" New strips looking smart! Maybe a future fashion career for us @JasonHendrie3 ?🤣
With support from Scottish Rugby's State School Officers and Women & Girls Community coach network, more girls are engaging in rugby than ever before. In celebration of Scottish Women & Girls in Sport Week, over 70 aspiring players took part in contact and touch rugby games.

Today @NewbattlePE said goodbye to two superstars. @MissmannionPE leaves us for the sun & sand of Dubai, whilst @MissButlerPE moves to the less sunny but equally as fabulous @PeeblesHigh. Both have been innovative, inspirational & supportive colleagues. We wish them well 💙PE
