Staff Information

1. Week 4 is when the moving all begins. We have a large number of movers in, shifting furniture and resources. Champion st will start to be set up on Monday morning for examinations. Thank you in advance for what is to be a very busy week with all hands on deck. With that in mind .......

2. The Provisionally Registered Teacher group (PCT's) met on Thursday for our professional reading discussion session. We looked at a couple of blogs posts, written by NZ educators. One of them is from Karen Spencer on Critical Pedagogy, and as Karen is great with her explanations, I recommend you read this particular blog post about what is is, and what critical pedagogy might look like in regards to 'actions' taken. There are some good discussion points for Learning Areas as we move forward with planning for 2018.

Near the end of the blog, she makes mention of one of the keynote speakers at ULearn17, Anne Milne and shares the video below.
