A fond farewell to Mrs Martin after 34 years of outstanding teaching in Duncanrig Maths department.
All the best, Liz - have a great retirement!
@DuncanrigScndry
Today we celebrated the outstanding Mrs MacDonald and the incredible career she has had at Duncanrig. Her wealth of support and knowledge in the department will go unmatched and she will be missed by both staff and pupils. We hope she has a long and happy retirement 🍾
After a long 18 months we officially have a completed Higher Applications of Maths course. Still plenty of development to be done but a huge achievement in the department to provide this new course and resources to our senior pupils.
Today we welcomed our associated primary schools to the department for our Primary Maths Challenge. Well done to Crosshouse Primary School who came in first 🥇 followed by Auldhouse Primary School who came in second 🥈
