Newmarket in 3D

Tonight Wendy, Waveney and myself attended a Rotary central meeting at AUT.
Waveney and I shared our school's journey with the 3D printer donated to us by the Newmarket Rotary club.

Visible Learning

It has been a busy week where a lot of visible learning has taken place.
At our staff meeting   Aspects of Effective Practice
We had a student share her Leadership Passport and she shared how she had been gathering evidence of her learning. Eileen shared how she had been mentoring the student in gathering evidence.
We had Anna share the presentation that she put together for the MOA cluster.


In addition I loved seeing how Ginny made her learning visible by sharing her Pepeha. So do check it out.

MOA Cluster

On Wednesday 6th of May we had 40 educators visit us from the Moa Cluster in South Taranaki. 

The three schools involved were Matapu, Opunake, Auroa.

They were with us from 9.00am until 11.00am.

I forgot to get a photo of all the vans in the top carpark.

Connections were made via twitter from Myles Webb @NZwaikato so it was great to meet up with him again. I found out that they are #3Dprinting buffs so it was fabulous to have Heath Chittenden @macca24129 spend time with me and give me a quick demo of our brand new printer. 

In addition to this dedicated group of educators breaking outside their echochamber, we had Hazel Abraham  ‏@HazelAbraham1  from Herekino School who is on an an educational sabbatical.

Below you can check out the slides from the day created by our hosting teachers and principal.

I also forgot to get a photo of the scrumptious morning tea coordinated by Gayle.
