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 ❤️ 🏉

Em … kit clash ?

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.

SUPER SATURDAY 🏉 ❤️ C’mon Scotland !!! @scotlandrugbynews.bsky.social

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

Thanks to Lesley Kelly #IAD/CareerServices for delivering our ACL writing support session to year 1 students MAPE on @uoe-pe.bsky.social @edinburgh-uni.bsky.social @morayhouse.bsky.social

Sweaty game … great subs @scottishrugby.bsky.social #AsOne

Educational Studies 3 - Our 3rd Year MAPE Cohort learning about neurodiversity in schools @edinburgh-uni.bsky.social @morayhouse.bsky.social @uoe-pe.bsky.social

And we're off ... the first meeting of the MAPE Year 3 EdBudds Committee. Planning our annual Charity Ball, Placement Advice Sessions #PLW and a range of other events #PeerSupport @morayhouse.bsky.social @uoe-pe.bsky.social @edinburgh-uni.bsky.social

The end of day one in semester two. It started with Educational Studies 3 and ended with Wicked Problems: Reason and Rhetoric, a packed day of teaching. Good to be back on campus @morayhouse.bsky.social @edinburgh-uni.bsky.social and great to see our students @uoe-pe.bsky.social #pedagogy

First ‘footed’ dad, cuppa and a mince pie, then a wee wander with the dogs #FamilyStuff #NY2026

Wishing you and yours all the best for 2026.

Hoping you and yours had a fantastic Christmas, from our wee multicultural family #FosterFamilies #BlendedFamilies 🎄

Merry Christmas from our family to you and yours 🎄

What a way to end the semester, 224 of our MAPE students came together for their annual Christmas Ceilidh and danced the night away. Thanks to MAPE EdBudds for pulling this and our other events together this semester #EdBudds @edinburgh-uni.bsky.social @morayhouse.bsky.social @uoe-pe.bsky.social

The last day of the taught semester, and that's a wrap for our MAPE Year 1 students, and they were in good voice. Our final lecture on #H&WB1 and into the exam diet. Make sure you take a break over the winter holidays @uoe-pe.bsky.social @morayhouse.bsky.social @edinburgh-uni.bsky.social

Years 4, 2, and 1 on our MAPE Programme came together for our Physical Education Curriculum and Pedagogy (PECP) Conference to share knowledge and visions. Our Sport Management Student colleagues joined us for Sportfest in the afternoon #StudentLed @morayhouse.bsky.social @edinburgh-uni.bsky.social

Nice closing game for our Quilter Nations Series. Bumped into students from university, Currie Chieftains Rugby friends and rugby mates … looking forward to the 6N already

Balerno, twinned with Narnia again ... ⛄⛷️

Tough day at HQ, perhaps the definition of 'defeat snatched from the jaws of victory' ... but, good company, caught up with the wider family and the Guinness 0.0 was going down well.

A great night with the rugby family, not the result we’d hoped for (pic for posterity) but a few beers with the Currie Rugby Dads and Lads made up for the final score line …

I spent some time with like-minded peer support and peer learning colleagues at the @edinburgh-uni.bsky.social EUSA Communities of Practice session this week. It has been great to share @morayhouse.bsky.social peer support and to hear best practices from across the university #EdBudds #SportBudds

Great night with junior and the rugby season ticket family. Probably won’t see a scoreboard like that again for a while, but more importantly, the American crew sitting around us were in good voice.

RUGBY !!!!!!!

Our MAPE cohort came together to celebrate Halloween in style. It was great to see groups from across the programme years out celebrating and having fun. Thanks to the EdBudds for organising the event, Christmas Ceilidh up next @uoe-pe.bsky.social @morayhouse.bsky.social @edinburgh-uni.bsky.social

A sunny Saturday afternoon on @morayhouse.bsky.social campus. We are looking forward to welcoming some of next year’s intake and their families/carers to our campus today. Three fully booked tours and some of our amazing EdBudds providing insights on life at @edinburgh-uni.bsky.social #PeerSupport

On a damp and dreich Friday afternoon, the MAPE Spirit shone through. Teams from Years 1, 2, and 4 came together to raise funds for charity @uoe-pe.bsky.social @morayhouse.bsky.social @edinburgh-uni.bsky.social EdBudds

Saturday on campus 🤔must be a @edinburgh-uni.bsky.social Open Day for @uoe-pe.bsky.social #EdBudds leading the way on campus tours
