Last night we gathered together to celebrate the annual MAPE Graduation Ball. It was great to see the year group together and to share stories and memories of the last four years. Thanks to our Peer Support Committee #EdBudds for this lovely night @edinburgh-uni.bsky.social @morayhouse.bsky.social
Reflecting on yesterday's 'big day' and the past 20+ years as a foster dad, I was so proud to celebrate Long's big day with his birth family. I loved being able to stand on the staircase in old college with my sons and for him to have his brothers there to support him #FosterFamilies #Education
Proud Dad day. A few of my children have taken the university path. A small number are @edinburgh-uni.bsky.social alumni. Today was the first time that one of my children graduated from @morayhouse.bsky.social I could not be more proud of all that you’ve achieved son. He’s the third generation MH
In the run-up to the school's graduation on Friday, I thought I'd share yet another memory from my dad's time at the school in the 1940s and 50s. The @morayhouse.bsky.social school song (Sorry, he can't remember the tune) penned by the Head Teacher, Mr Mowat @edinburgh-uni.bsky.social
What a fantastic day at #PeerForum26. The choice of presentations and workshops was amazing. Great to hear student leaders and colleagues from Norway, Sweden, Portugal & Canada on Peer Led Initiatives in HE. #PeerSupport #PALS @edinburgh-uni.bsky.social @morayhouse.bsky.social #EdBudds #SportBudds
Looking forward to this. A day spending time with like minded people on Peer Support and Learning. The conference has speakers from universities across the UK, Europe and as far flung as Canada @morayhouse.bsky.social @edinburgh-uni.bsky.social
And that's a wrap, the final day on campus for year 1. Recall day for #MAPEYear1 started with a hearty breakfast at Levels, continued with placement reflections, and ended with cake. Well done Year 1, have an amazing summer @uoe-pe.bsky.social @edinburgh-uni.bsky.social @morayhouse.bsky.social
My Dad (Murray, not Moray - Think my Granny was keen) spent both his Primary & Secondary School years here (now Thomson's Land). During that time, student teachers would come over from the teaching college (Paterson's Land). Pics Thomson's Land, and 57/58 first XV Rugby team @morayhouse.bsky.social
Fantastic meeting with Lesley Ross (Student Inductions and Transitions). Discussing all aspects of arriving and thriving at @edinburgh-uni.bsky.social including our Enhanced Transitions Events for our Widening Participant (WP) Offer Holders at @morayhouse.bsky.social #EdBudds #SportBudds #Teviot
Thanks, Hungary, we needed this. I hope Trump/Vance, Le Pen, Wilders, Abascal, and Weidel are paying attention.
We are so proud of our MAPE Student cohort and all the hard work they have put in to raise funds for our chosen charity. £3,900 and takes the total raised for charities over the last five years to £18,560 #CommunityandCause @uoe-pe.bsky.social @edinburgh-uni.bsky.social @morayhouse.bsky.social
The Year 3 MAPE EdBudds Committee brought a long-lost annual event back to life on Monday night. The MAPE Talent Competition. 'Acts' from across years 1 to 3 sang and danced their hearts out for Charlie Boys Cancer Foundation @uoe-pe.bsky.social @morayhouse.bsky.social @edinburgh-uni.bsky.social
Nothing tugs at the pedagogical heartstrings like seeing our MAPE cohort come together to support their chosen charity. Students from Years 1-3 gathered for their annual charity ball, raising funds for Charlie Boys Cancer Journey @uoe-pe.bsky.social @morayhouse.bsky.social @edinburgh-uni.bsky.social
Our MAPE EdBudds organised this year's MAPE Rugby Tournament. Students from across years 1 to 3 out in the sun playing rugby (normally the muddiest event of the year), @uoe-pe.bsky.social @edinburgh-uni.bsky.social @morayhouse.bsky.social #PeerSupport #Semester2Activities
Thanks to Dr Andrew Horrell for delivering the final Academic Cohort Lead (ACL) session to our Year 1 students on the MAPE @uoe-pe.bsky.social. Starting our conversation about AI and GenAI as early as possible, @morayhouse.bsky.social @edinburgh-uni.bsky.social #FullHouse
What a game to end one of the best Guinness 6N I can remember ❤️ 🏉
Tough game, well done to Ireland ☘️… just a wee moan about the ref and the number of missed Irish offside play … ooft. Sinking a few of these and enjoying the balance of the games.
Left home early in the snow this morning, and arrived at a sunny @edinburgh-uni.bsky.social . It was lovely to meet some of the Language Education staff and students, to start the process of establishing an EdBudds #PeerSupport system as part of the school's Student Support @morayhouse.bsky.social
Last home game of this year's #SixNations and what a rugby night! love sharing nights, like this, with my kids, rugby values through and through #AsOne #ScotlandRugby
