A' chiad latha den t-sreath seo de chomataidhean na Comhairle. Thòisich an latha le comataidh Foghlaim, Spòrs is Seirbheisean Chloinne agus chrìochnaich e le Comataidh na Gàidhlig.

Delighted to be able to attend the Senior prizegiving ceremony at The Nicolson Institute Àrd-sgoil MhicNeacail today. So many fantastic achievements across learning and the life of the school. Fantastic young people for the school and our community to be proud of. 👏🏻

Fantastic to see this summary of another year of success and innovation from the team at @esgoil. Well worth reading the full Evidence of Impact report for 23-24. Thanks to Steven Graham and the team at e-Sgoil!

Looking forward to reading and listening to the ADES recommendations for summer books and podcasts. Thank you to colleagues for providing the inspiring ideas. Sheena Devlin Laurence Findlay

Another night in Uist for us: Cancelled ferry means that almost all staff involved in in-service delivery in Stornoway tomorrow are stuck in Uist. Subject to ferry sailing at 7am, the team will be in Stornoway for a 10am start. The event will start one hour later than notified.

On the road again this morning. Dash for the morning ferry to Leverburgh and we should all be in Stornoway for a 10am start to today’s in-service. Apologies for delayed start due to ferry cancellation last night.

Ferry is here and we’ve been squeezed on.

Fàilte bhlàth do thidsearan Leòdhais agus na Hearadh madainn an-diugh. A warm welcome to in-service to our Lewis and Harris staff this morning.

Cuiribh fàilte air sgoilearan Comhairle nan Eilean don bhliadhna-sgoile ùr, gu h-àraidh an fheadhainn a tha a' tòiseachadh air an chiad latha ann an sgoil ùr. Pleased to welcome Comhairle nan Eilean pupils to the start of the new school year, especially those having a first day in a new school.
