Huge congratulations to Mirren in 2F who has been successful in her application to the University of Strathclyde Young WEIR-WISE programme 🥳 You put in a lot of hard work & your application was inspiring, we hope you have an amazing time on the programme🎊 #PhysicsIsNurturing #WeBelong

S4 Physics students, went on an educational visit to The National Robotarium today. We met Ameca, a robotic humanoid who had a lot to say about our school #welearn

Thank you to @NRobotarium for having our S4 Physics students today. We met Ameca, a humanoid robot, practised scratch coding & got to visit Heriot-Watt University Fascinating day 🤖 Smithycroft Secondary Smithycroft Physics Department Smithycroft_Chelsea #wecare #Physics #Robot #AI #ameca

Biologists today were treated to an Ox heart to study 🫀 Being able to compare it to a human heart, and view arteries & veins under a microscope was an amazing experience! Young people were really excited to use their lab skills and share knowledge. 🧠 #WeBelong #WeAchieve

Light the candles! 🎂 We're celebrating Apollo 11 astronaut Buzz Aldrin today on his 95th birthday! Join us in wishing him galaxies of health and happiness on his special day. 🎉

S1 classes have been enjoying making pH rainbows over the past week 🌈 Great collaboration, and excellent following scientific procedure! Well done 😁 #WeCare #ScienceIsFun #WeAchieve

1D had a great time this week taking part in Space into Energy with TechFest! 😁 The interview with an astronaut was so interesting, and we all got to practice our problem solving & numeracy skills 👩‍🚀 #WeAchieve #WeCare #PhysicsIsFun

S1 classes had a great time this week working with Miss Curtis' telescope plate 🔭 They've loved finding stars & galaxies, and seeing them on the space-map. 🌠 They loved that it makes space feel "touchable", thanks again @PhysAstroStAnd, stay tuned for our constellations 😄

TODAY’S THE DAY! Applications are OPEN to all S5 pupils in Scotland for Scottish Space School 2025🚀 The non-residential programme will be running on campus from 9-13 June. Meet NASA astronauts & engineers and learn more about engineering study bit.ly/strathSSS

Free admission Tuesday 04/03/25 3.30pm - 6pm Get along to the SEC for more info on the apprenticeships available.

All of our S1 pupils were treated to a day of fun engineering workshops courtesy of DNE Eko STEM⚙️ Young people had an amazing time & were excited to discuss how STEM can be related to so many careers & opportunities🧪 Thank you so much to everyone involved for the experience 😄

Today was day one of our celebrations for #MenstrualHygieneDay 🎉 We were lucky enough to have Period Dignity Officer Lorraine Mohr in to talk to our S2s & S3s! All of the S2-S3 girls have also been gifted a pair of period pants 😄

Today is day 3 of our celebrations for #MenstrualHygieneDay 🎉 We had the amazing Julie from UnicornCup to talk to our seniors! The girls really enjoyed her talk & were all gifted a period cup! 🎁 This week has been amazing for starting conversations around period dignity 👏

On top of this we have also raised £117.70 (so far) to twin some of our school toilets with toilets in Malawi, to make sure that girls all over the world have access to a safe and hygienic place for their periods 🙌

Ahoy, Aberdeen! In exactly one month, TechFest will be setting sail for the Tall Ships Aberdeen – and we’re bringing the science with us! Drop anchor and come say hi – there’ll be hands-on fun, curious facts, and a whole crew of #STEM surprises.

For #MenstrualHygieneDay we were able to raise money to twin 2 toilets in the school! One in Malawi & one in Uganda. You'll see the shiny new certificates around the school! 😁 Thanks to everyone who helped make this happen, giving as many people as possible access to dignity 💜
