What a pleasure it has been meeting the students this week. I have worked closely with class 9 and first impressions are positive. A confident, polite and friendly bunch, that seems at ease with each other. So far so good and cheers erupted after I told them that they should not expect to come into class and copy from the board!
They have been set their first project that allows them to reflect on their life so far and present themselves to the class. Their first assessment presentation begins on Friday and I am looking forward to gaining an understanding of each of student in terms of what motivates them, who supports them, what their accomplishments and challenges have been and the goals they have set for the future. I am sure there have been many significant times in their life that have impacted on them and brought them to where they are today.
Our open day was a huge success and all students were exceptionally well behaved and a true credit to the college. I was personally completely overwhelmed with such positive and encouraging feedback I received from parents on both the education and football we are providing.
