Thank you to Pax & Iris Ltd

Posted on by

We are hugely excited and delighted to be able to share with you the news that Pax & Iris Ltd, a local business has made a significant donation to Tynecastle High School for the purchase of 50 iPads. A huge thank you to Pax & Iris for partnering with us in our vision to provide 1:1 learning for all students at Tynecastle High School.

Pamela Scott, the founder and CEO, said “…as a local business owner I want more for our next generation. I don’t want them to have to ‘make do’ – especially at the moment in lockdown. I want them to have what they need to learn, to reach their full potential and for them to make as big an impact on the world as they possibly can! So, if my donation of iPads can help, even in a small way, the young people of Gorgie to learn more, connect more, grow in confidence and have an easier time, then I am delighted!”

My Activity Planner

Posted on by

It is really important to try to stay active at this time, even if you have to stay at home right now.

Activity is good for your physical health, but it is also good for your mental and emotional health too.

My Activity Planner is a document created by the Sports and Outdoor Learning Unit providing pupils aged 3 – 17 and their families with active links (click on the character not the bubble) to some fantastic activities that can be completed at home or whilst out exercising.  The document is very user-friendly and appropriate to all ages and stages.

We hope you find it useful and enjoyable.

From all staff in Sport & Outdoor Learning.
