A testing day

Some of the Year 4 to 8 children were involved in sitting the New South Wales Science paper today. The library was so quiet you could have heard a pin drop, until a principal colleague of mine in China decided to Skype me! Luckily the test had finished and we were just packing up. It's interesting knowing teachers and principals overseas.  It gives a completely different perspective of education but interestingly it all comes down to the same concept of teaching and learning and working to do the best for the students.  Next term this particular friend is taking up a position in Berlin so I look forward to hearing about principalship over there. For me, I'm well happy to be in Governors Bay and hear about what is going on in other countries, I love to travel, but this is where I want to work.
I'm looking forward to a Powhiri at Rapaki Marae tomorrow, where else in the world could you do that?
