Week 7…still busy!

LAST WEEK

Athletics Day was a great success. Our students performed very well and I’m proud to say that we saw many of our students striving to do the best they could. Well done to Brodie for organising a smoothly run event.

Also, the year 7’s prepared and presented their speeches to become Black Hat’s for 2013. We had many applicants for the job and Mr Mackay and I were very impressed with the quality of them and how the students reacted with the results. We look forward to finding opportunities for all students to showcase their leadership next year.

THIS WEEK 

The last week for preparing Inquiries, Inter-school Athletics and leadership skills with Doug Bracewell.

This week will be the last for the year for the “Super Sizzling Sausage  Company.” We are still busy!

On a personal note, I went to Auckland yesterday to celebrate my sisters 70th birthday. As I watched, impressed by her children and grandchildren working together to make the event a roaring success, I thought about how my students do the same. They have been helping each other out with their Inquiry, suggesting ideas and encouraging each other. It’s what we are all about and I’m one happy teacher.
