Last week
The first week back seemed just as busy as if we never had a holiday, as we quickly got back into work for the term. With the initial early assessments to establish learning group to our inquiry topic “organising our lives” kicking off with a very exciting careers expo on Friday. A huge thanks to Nathan (Chopper) Couch, Richard Hendry, James Smallwood and Andy Eldred for giving up their time to share their careers experience with our syndicate, and also to Mr MacKay for sharing his views on careers and leadership. Athletics training began, gearing up for our athletics day on November 20.
