Very cool today to stand inside one of the learning hubs and get a real sense of space. We are sure the workers on site were thrilled with the lovely sunshine today also.
Here is a wee story we created as an exemplar for our own students. The team went to Melbourne to view some wonderful Schools. We had a superb two days looking at how three schools had worked through a process to purposefully design space. We saw over 100 students working within one learning centre. The engaged learning hum was exceptional, it was wonderful to see students using various e learning tools and being encouraged to pursue areas of interest. Many thanks to all the schools that hosted us. Mel then took us on a tour of the city on Saturday. We had a great time exploring some of the sights of Melbourne. We are keen for Stonefields School learners to take Mel with them when they go on trips around NZ and further afield. Maybe we will be able to start blog on Where in the world is Mel off to now? Can you find Mel in each picture?
We are two weeks in to advertising 8 teaching positions to commence at the start of 2011. Last night we had an information evening for interested applicants to come along and hear more about the School's direction. It was neat to be able to share the journey so far and gauge peoples excitement. Many thanks to those individuals who did come along. We will upload the slides over the weekend and have them up for viewing on Monday. All application information can be found on our website - click here
