As one young person put it: “in order to appreciate good cinema, you must also watch the bad!” Film Club are now onto watching A Minecraft Movie! Come along every Monday lunchtime to watch, discuss (and sometimes giggle at) films throughout the year! #RRSA #Article31 @braeshighschool.bsky.social 🍿🎬

S3 History attempted the Louisiana State Literacy Test that African-Americans sat in the 1960s to gain the right to vote! The young people found this challenging to complete perfectly in 10 minutes and empathised with the troubles of African-Americans during this time. Great work! #RRSA #Article2 📝🗳️

N5 Modern Studies worked hard to learn about the roles of MSPs today! Each became an expert on a role and then taught the rest of their group about their role to create notes for the exam. So impressed with their teamwork & communication skills! #RRSA #Article28 🗳️📝 @braeshighschool.bsky.social
