Today's LGBT+ History Month poster highlights the work of Hans Scholl in organising resistance against the Nazi's in the White Rose resistance movement. This poster was inspired by the wonderful resources provided by TIE 🏳️‍🌈

One of our amazing senior Portobello High Sch Media pupils has created a poster campaign in lockdown. Here is one of her posters. So inspired by her commitment to community and to open, clear, inclusive communication. Porty Equalities #AchievingTogether #lockdownlearning

Fantastic Tomatina 🍅 posters from S2 as they enjoy their Spanish 🇪🇦 tasters this week ahead of pathways decisions for S3.

We have set our young people (and staff) a challenge for March to try to start a new habit that will benefit their mental health and wellbeing. Setting small goals makes this more achievable so we have offered some ideas to help get them started. #talkingtogether Portobello High Sch

Some great advice from a senior Media pupil, for girls choosing subjects next year. Girls absolutely CAN! #stem Portobello Maths Portobello High Sch Porty Equalities

Here are three brilliant posters from the Higher Media Class Portobello High Sch raising awareness about the damages of homophobia in schools and where to find support. Fantastic work!👏 @LGBTYS TIE Portobello HS Mental Health & Wellbeing Group Porty English Dept Stonewall Scotland

Don’t underestimate the power of mindfulness! Pupils were able to learn a few techniques yesterday to focus & anchor themselves in the present moment. A powerful tool to deal with one’s own emotions 🧘🏻‍♂️ 🌱 #ReadyRespectfulSafe Portobello High Sch #mentalhealth #MentalHealthMatters

This is so important right now in our school community. Self care techniques can help manage the symptoms of many mental health problems. For more support visit mind.org.uk/information-su…

Men are less likely to seek help for mental health largely due to societal expectations. This image was created by one of our S3 boys in Media and I’m sure you will agree how powerful it is. #talkingtogether #itsokaynottobeokay amazing work! Portobello High Sch Porty English Dept Porty Equalities
