SCIENCE PRELIM RESULTS DAY - TUESDAY 20TH JANUARY
Study Support in Science
Study Support in Science
The science department will not be offering Easter School study support. We want to give you plenty of notice so that you can prepare your studying with this in mind.
There are a couple of reasons for this:
We want to encourage regular study throughout the year rather than putting too much focus on a one-off study session during the Easter holidays.
The teachers in the department work really hard throughout the year to support your learning and offer study support every week. It is important for the teachers to have time off so that they can rest and spend time with their families.
Prelim Results Day - 20th January
Prelim Results Day - 20th January
This will take place on Tuesday the 20th January. If students come to lab 6 at break time, they can get results for all their science subjects.
Students will feel either delighted or disappointed with their prelim results. We want them to use this as motivation for the exam that really matters.
If they are happy, fantastic! We want you to feel exactly the same when you get your results in summer. Keep doing what you are doing.
If they are disappointed, good. Use it as motivation to make some changes because we do not want you to have this feeling when you get your results in summer. What can you change? Do you need to ask more questions, do more studying, change the way you study or attend supported study classes?
Please feel free to contact the department if there is anything you want to discuss.

S1 Safety Poster
S1 Safety Poster
Every year, we ask our new S1 students to design a safety poster for the department.
The winner wins the chance to have their poster displayed in every lab in the department (and sweets!).
This year, the winner is Qismah Hassan.
We loved the clear presentation, fantastic drawings of scientific equipment and the colour really makes it stand out.
Well done Qismah!

Phone Photo Competition
Phone Photo Competition
The PicTours Student Photography Competition invites Scottish students to capture their surroundings — whether it’s a stunning Highland landscape, a candid city moment, or a creative close-up.
The only rule?
Photos must be taken on a smartphone. No DSLR or professional cameras allowed.
There are no restrictions on editing. Students can crop, filter, or stylise their images however they like. This contest is all about creativity, not expensive camera gear.
Join us at the Informatics Forum, The University of Edinburgh for a two day summer school that will cover the basics of quantum computing and what a career in research can look like. This event is tailored to students with an EH postcode that are leaving S5 or S6.
